Power conditioners and power regeneration

There are so many different options on this subject it’s unbelievable. But in the meantime it seems to me that between two companies that I’m comparing, they seem to do the same thing with power conditioning, and as far as I can tell there is no audible difference. Comparing two different conditioners, the elite 20 pfi and the aq pq2. On the other hand, I’ve heard that power regeneration is good, but it also can generate noise. Besides plugging into the wall, which I know works great, I still would like some protection to my amplifiers against brown out or surges. Has anyone else experienced any difference with these 2 products?

There is actually a wholly different approach that doesn’t interfere with the basic power flow: I use a combination of Acoustic Revive and Akiko Audio based purifiers with an Add Powr oscillator since I find that conditioners and regeneration both seem to mess with both frequency/phase and impulse and decay. In my mind superior. This third approach though requires a dedicated sour and good grounding.

BTW isn’t it amazing how @tvrgeek manages squatting on any thread requiring high resolution and good hearing?
