Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators

Appreciate hearing people's experiences. I've watched more than a few of Paul's videos on the regenerator. If I am remembering accurately, he basically says don't use a conditioner -- just use their regenerator. Of course he wants to sell them, but I think his videos are popular because he seems to bring a lot of objective engineering knowledge into his videos. So, as a novice, on the one hand I hear that some conditioners are different or even better than regenerators. On the other hand, I hear Paul saying, the regenerator is the only way to go. The idea of trying both is a fairly onerous experiment, given how much these can cost, how hard to ship, and how hard to try them side by side. 

@tvad Thanks so much for your comments. I always perk up when I see you posting. Your good ears are only matched by your good sense and gentility. When you speak, I listen, note, and investigate what you report has worked for you.
