analyzing the technology of power "conditioners"

Besides the balanced power/massive toroidal approach (Equi=tech, Torus, Bryston, Furman balanced, etc.), and the power regeneration approach (PS Audio, PurePower+), there are a number of what appear to be other unique technologies out there. Or perhaps they’re not, and we just don’t know what’s going on inside those little black boxes inside the larger black boxes.

Has anyone ever come across an electrical/electronic engineer, who has actually dismantled and identified the innards and workings of the offerings of Shunyata, Audience Adept, Audioquest, Synergistic Research, Isotek, et al.? You know, the way iFixit always does a teardown of the latest iPhone.

Here's a review of the Lab12 Gordian Power Conditioner by a reviewer. He's not an engineer but it's a rather extensive look inside.
Here's another.

They're both in depth and the designer is upfront about its workings.
It would be nice to see reviews that do more of this rather than repeating what the makers say.

All the best,
