Power regenerators vs conditioners

So, I’ve been really wanting power regeneration for a while and went out and bought a fairly inexpensive SurgeX piece for my system.  I told my friend about it and he said DONT USE IT!  I asked why and he explained that I have a dedicated 20 amp circuit going to my system and the UPS only is rated for 8.6amps.  So, when you are considering any power piece for your system, take into consideration how much current it will pass to your components.  Maybe I’m oversimplified in my example but it made sense at the time!  Comments?

Psaudio makes some receptacles for the wall I think I will get that 

I am getting an electrician to do dedicated circuit 20 amp 
I see a lot of good items are 15 amp 
should I also get 15 dedicated ones ?

+1 for Furman. :)

Whole house suppressors are good add ons, but their ratings vary, and often recommend you use a surge suppressor in addition. I'm thinking of some Square D models I investigated.

Protect or make them sound better?
The best way to protect is to install a whole house surge protector.
Sound? A regenerator. But it depends on the equipment. I've had tube amps sound worse on battery-based power supplies than directly into the wall. But I have clean power. If you do go the regen route, listen with and without before assuming you have to stay with the power supplies and end up spending more trying to get back what you lost and thought you'd gained.
