I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?


My PurePower APS 1050 AC Regenerator made an incredible difference in my system. Since everything connected to the unit is fed perfect, steady 120V power, is there any reason to expect that running a dedicated 20 amp AC line to my system and installing new high end receptacles would make any difference at all??? If you have experience with this I would appreciate your opinion, if you have an opinion without experience, tell me your thoughts about this. Hurry, before I spend any more money just to find out!

Thanks.

Yes a dedicated line will help; a related question often comes up; why spend any money on a good AC cord to the regenerator when perfect AC will come out anyway? My experience is that using a very good cord to the regenerator makes it sound better; PS Audio says this also and Shunyata says the most important AC cord in the system is the one between the wall and the conditioner. By extension we can see that quality of the AC line must also have an effect.
It regenerates the power, not makes it perfect. The better it starts the better it will be at the end. The companies which make the regenerators or conditioners suggest you use good cables; they should know.
IF you had read PS Audio's lit you would have seen that they recommend a high quality cord from the wall. And yes, I use a PS Audio PPP and one of their better cords and yes, I have tried cheaper ones and it does make a difference. Have YOU ever done any of these things or are you just guessing?
Alonski, I have now or have had a variety of PS Audio products and have read the instructions that came with them. They DO say that the better the power cord used the better the regenerator will sound. If you would also look at the HIGHFICRITIC review of the PPP they point out that the power cord is a critical part of its function. Also an engineering friend of mine actually measured the difference in current between untreated, through the PPP , and through my VPI SDS. The SDS gave the best current, not surprising as its output is a fraction of that of the PPP. If the PPP was in fact "perfect" it would have been as good as the SDS. I do get a little irritated being lectured by someone who has glanced at the web site while I have actually used the gear myself; I try to confine myself to things I actually know something about, not make guesses based on my own preconceptions.
