I will ask a dumb question on power conditioners

....what is the difference between a power conditioner and a power distribution unit ???? I saw the site for these here on Audiogon and I noticed that there are in fact two types of units being sold. 40 years in this hobby and I understand power conditioners....but what is the difference and what are each used for ????

Gary,

Maybe I'm wrong, but this is the way I understand it:

- Power Regenerator - takes the AC from the wall, converts it to DC and then creates its own AC.

- Power Conditioner - takes the AC from the wall and conditions it, for example, filters RFI/EMI, etc.

- Power Distribution - an outlet strip.
