Power regenerators on pre / digital - any downsides?


Hi all,

I get the problems with driving power amps from mains regenerators, this can dull the sound if the unit can't provide enough power. I've had my sound utterly ruined by mains filters too, strangling my amps. 

So on to the question, is there any downside to regenerators for pre amps and digital kit, i.e. those units that don't draw much power? I see a lot of interest in power cables but I was thinking about fixing my mains. 

Thanks, Tim

Thanks, I want to avoid using one on my power amps. So I guess you're saying that the regenerator became unnecessary when your kit got high end?  
Thanks v useful! The lower power ones are cheaper and could be worth a try so considering Dac / Pre for now.
