Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio?


Is the PS audio regenerator a good choice or are there others?

I just scored a Powerplant premier and put my Pre/Dac/Streamer on it. I kept the power amp and sub directly into the wall…I wasn’t expecting anything dramatic but there definitely is a noticeable improvement in space and dynamics. Nothing mind blowing but noticeable. According to the unit, THD went from 5.4% to 0.5% I’m sold, I’d definitely invest in a newer higher end unit at some point and run my entire rig with regen power.

It would depend upon your amp and regenerator…I wouldn’t plug a power sucking monster amp into a regen if it’s going to exceed the regen’s capacity. It’s my understanding that if you exceed the regen’s capacity it will switch from regen to power conditioning on the outlet the amp is plugged into. I’m not a fan of running amps into power conditioners. So unless I have a substantial regenerator, I’d keep my amps directly into the wall.
