I tried many over the past 15 years and I landed on a newer designed PS Audio regenerator P-12 for my front-end gear and it is the best sounding one I’ve heard from any passive, isolation transformer design like the Furman Reference 20i which I liked a lot. Better than many branded audiophile ones with great marketing. The PS audio allows the music to flow, black background, more body and depth of field as well as imaging. It does what they claim it does, in fact when I run the vacuum on the same line as the PS Audio the meter goes way, way up on incoming noise and distortion at the very top of the range, but the regenerated AC shows only 0.1% distortion with the improvement meter, which shows almost 75 times improvement, I turn off the vacuum and the meters drop back down to 2.5% distortion in, 0.1% out. Voltage in 123 volts most days out a rock-solid 120 volts out.
This unit does as it claims and you can easily hear it.
Power regenerator vs conditioner
If the goal is to improve the sound quality (soundstage, detail, dynamics, etc) and the issue is "noisy" AC, it would seem to me that a power regenerator such as PS Audio P15 would be far superior to a "conditioner" such as a Shunyata Denali or Hydra or Triton. Is this correct? Thanks .
