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.
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.
I’m very happy with my 2 P12 PS Audio PowerPlants. Highly recommended. My all system is PS Audio so I’m really a fan of this brand and Paul McGowan philosophy.
I came from Roksan gear, so not a long time experienced audiophile with lots of brands listened to. Sorry.
