kingbarbuda,
Can you describe the differences in sound quality between the AQ Niagara 5000 and PSA Power Plant 20? On the video, Garth mainly talks about the superior power delivery from AQ vs AC regenerator. But Mike Fremer a few months ago in Stereophile described the gross distortion from his power switch for his house generator. His AQ Niagara 7000 did little to restore his pure sound, but the PSA Power Plants 20 and 15 did. This implies that for serious wall distortion, AC regeneration is superior. My priority is not macro power delivery--I want clarity by minimizing low level micro distortion from RFI noise. Paul McGowan and many users have noted wall AC distortion at 3% or more, which is reduced to 0.1% by the PSA regenerators. Perhaps Fremer was dealing with very high 10% distortion. If listeners are in a suburban/rural area, maybe they have very low distortion, so the AC regenerator might do little.
