Power conditioners: Shunyata and PS Audio


Here is another meaninglessly subjective question. I am thinking about doing something bold and definitive with my power situation, and am thinking about either the Shunyata Triton or the PS Audio P10 regenerator. They are similarly priced. The Triton has received great reviews, but I like the idea of power regeneration--at least in theory. I suppose that I could buy both and then return one or the other, but I'd rather just pick a direction: both are obviously great machines. So, beyond the reviews and the tech talk, do you feel that any particular factor or factors puts one machine ahead of the other?

Rfprice, your AC power situation can be improved by (1) using dedicated lines for your audio & (2) using a regenerator or power conditioner.
I use a PS Audio P300 regenerator & my need stemmed mostly from the fact that i needed TT speed control & I preferred to by the P300 over a VPI or Walker motor control. I have my front end components plugged into the P300 & my preamp + power amp go straight into the wall. With this combination, I find there is no current restriction from the P300 & it controls the TT speed really well. I won't be giving up my P300 any time soon. In fact, I spent some more $ on it & had Rick Cullen in Calif upgrade my P300 to the latest version that has the Multiwave oscillator.
I did not find any power conditioner that i liked as I found them to be too limiting - their influence on the sonics was to limit them. I do use a RGPC 400 but that it used clean up the AC to the P300 only.
FWIW.
