APS Pure Power A/C Regenerators

Over the years I have tried a few power conditioners and always felt that they stripped the music of its "body," leaving me with a non-involving, non-musical, thin sound.

Because of this, I have only gone as far as a dedicated panel to dedicated circuits, with some above standard electrical hardware. ...and have been pleased with this results.

I recently had a conversation with a fellow audiophile, who also happens to be an engineer, who recommended that I look into the Pure Power line of A/C Regenerators.

He has tried quite a number of tweaks to his electrical supply over the years and could not say enough great things about Pure Power, to the point that he strongly felt that using this (specifically referring to the model 2000) in any standard outlet in the home, would outperform the improvments of dedicated circuits or any other electrical tweaking.

I am considering a project in my home that would move my listening room to a new space. Before I do this and before I bring in an electrician for all of the custom works, I am looking to hear from any folks that own or have owned a Pure Power regenerator.

Please share your experiences, both good or bad. Also, please comment on other A/C conditioners or custom/dedicated circuit topologies that you have compared this to.

Any experiences that you can share regarding APS Pure Power regenerators is appreciated.

Lastly, does anyone know if there is a performance difference between the different models, or do they only differ by their output capacities?

Thanks!

Why doesn't the power supply circuit in a typical tube or SS pre-amp or power amp self-correct utility power "Gremlins"?

I run ARC all-tube gear. Although there's not a lot of other stuff on the same circuit (i.e., from the outlet to the circuit breaker box), the ARC tube gear draws quite a bit of power even at idle. For example, at idle, the amp alone draws about 400 watts. Probably double that when it's "crankin."

I guess my concern is that if the consensus is that the PP regenerator is the way to go, a word to the wary, big $$$. Anyone know if there's a used market for that gear??
