Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators


Interesting interview from a couple weeks ago with Garth Powell of Audioquest who seriously decries the use of AC regenerators with a detailed argument. I’m not qualified to affirm or rebut that argument, but since people debate "conditioners vs. regenerators" here, I’m passing it along for your inspection.

Notice that he doesn't mention ps audio and that ps audio defends its regenerators (as exempt from Garth's critique) in the comments. Not sure how many other regenerators out there beyond ps audio.

I owned a Bryston BIT20, and got caught up in the power regeneration concept....and sold the BIT20 for a PS Audio P10 regenerator.  Turns out my power was pretty clean to begin with. Sold the P10 and bought another Bryston BIT20.  
The BIT20 makes a massive improvment to overall system performance.  I didnt have both the Bryston and PS Audio on hand at the same to A/B...but in my brain, the BIT20 is the winner.  And product quality is top notch.
