ExactPower EP15A

I was thinking of getting one of these after my not so stellar audition of the PS Audio P-500. Guys that have or have had one of these (the latest model)good or bad stories about them? Do you have everything plugged in to it or just front end gear? Break in time? Different power cords? I've heard that Ps Audio tried to buy the patent from ExactPower but they weren't going for it. It EP15A looks a better design all the way around. I was thinking of the World Power Power Wing but it doesn't do anything as far as maintaining voltage from a low or high voltage situation or correcting your 60 hertz signwave. The EP15A will maintain 120 volts at it's output while the incoming voltage drops as much as 86 volts, upon hitting 85 volts the unit shuts down to protect your gear also keeps you a 120 output up to 139 volts and shuts down at 140 volts, doing all this with minamal heat unlike the PS Audio P-500 that was spontanious combustion hot with just a 12% 52 watt load on it. Thanks

Nsgarch: Thank you. Going back and reading the first few posts of this thread was clarifying. Conclusion: clean and stable power, then balanced power.

One other question: could I stack an SP15-A and EP15-A on top of one another or would there be to much heat? I only have one shelf left on my rack.

Also, what about the Equitech "Q" units? Is there such a thing as a unit that cleans, stabilizes, and balances.

Thanks,

I am trying to decide between the EP-15A, the BPT 10.5, and the Equitech 1.5Q. I am leaning toward the BPT and would love to hear others views about these units.

I guess I have to figure out whether I would benefit more from a regenerator or a balance power unit. How do I do that?

I decided to give the Audiophile APS 1050 a try. I'll you know how it goes when I get it in a few weeks.

I received my Audiophile APS 1050 a few days ago. Well, WOW!!!
The addition of this unit to my system has made a more significant improvement to the sound of my system than almost anything I have done to my system in recent memory. I am now a true believer in power regeneration. I must have had some really weak power delivery in my home. I would recommend people try such a devise before making any other major component changes. WOW!!!

Everything in the sound of my system is qualitatively and quantitatively better. Total Engagement!!!
