Eaton 9px as audio power regenerator?

I was looking at prices of audio power regenerators; I then thought of alternatives.
Does anyone here have experience with the Eaton 9xp? It's a double conversion UPS.
I would probably switch out the fan in it if I was to purchase one.
I just don't have the cabbage for a PS Audio regen.
I live in a condominium, enough said....
I was listening to some Jeff Healey Band; as I noticed the light above me fluctuating in brightness. I didn't notice a change in sound quality, but it got me thinking.
What do you all think?

Thanks for any input!

@martin-andersen Hi, I ended-up getting a really good deal on a PS Audio P12 regenerator.

If I ever get my second A/V system put together; I'm still considering the Eaton; from what I'm reading, they're a really good alternative to the higher priced regenerators. They do have fans though.

Hi sleepwalker,
I was also looking at SANUPS.
I'm wondering about the fan on these units, how loud they are.If you don't mind me asking:
What version of the 9130 did you decide on?
What was the biggest deciding factor of the 9130 for you?
Thanks

I ended-up getting a really good deal on a PS Audio P12.

I used a ICE AGE copper/copper 10 Gauge power cable for the P12, instead of it's "stock" cable.

I received it a few days ago. This thing is great!

I have all my A/V equipment running off of it; except for the small SMPS type power supplies. I plugged them into a "corcom modded" power strip, separate from the P12.

I had everything powered on and playing/displaying music/DVD video; the P12 didn't flinch, I had plenty of power in reserve!.

In the next couple of days; I'm going to experiment with the "multi-wave" levels on the P12, to see which level performs the best.

DiTek makes double-conversion, on-line UPS models.
I was looking at the DTK-UPS2000RE for a friend.
He was inquiring about available options for power regeneration for his A/V.
Interesting options out there.
