AB testing of power regenerators?? Ever do it?
Ever since the first grade I've been fascinated by clean power and how it impacts my audio system. During recess I would escape to a nearby audio shop to see the latest Power conditioners and regenerators.
PS Audio seems to be the dominant player in power regeneration with their mystery box for thousands of dollars.
I don't have a power regenerator (I do use a power conditioner), and sometimes the sound coming through my system is alot nicer and I wonder if it's related to electrons flowing out of the wall, and would it be better to rejuvenate via regenerater all those electrons?
With that being said has anyone done AB testing of a power regenerator which is extremely easy to do to see the difference? And what are your findings?
As with many audiophiles, I take a "source first" approach. Using a proper dedicated line can essentially eliminate the voltage drop typical of a daisy-changed convenience outlet. Power conditioning, including voltage regulation, can then further improve the AC. It's not an either/or choice. |
A dedicated line is usually substantially more voltage stable. You're not going to plug a vacuum into it because it's a dedicated line. That's the whole point. |
