PS Audio Power regenerator

"Audio forum wisdom says plug your amp into the wall. ... Stereophile seemed to agree.

Now I’m confused. That article seems to say the exact opposite. The concluding paragraph states that most audiophiles (this was 15 years ago, remember) compromise the sound of their systems by plugging amps into the wall.

And I'd take issue with the phrase "audio forum wisdom."  Maybe "audio forum opinion" would be more accurate!  Just sayin'.

rereading my post, I can see why you're confused.

That's what I get for not proofreading. Should have read-"doesn't seem to agree"

Most of my posts are from airport lobbies and all thumbs on my phone

My experience is similar to the Stereophile review- plug everything into my PP, and no negative effects.

I love my PP15. Best bang for the buck I ever spent. 

Thanks for feedback.  My amps are consuming 300 W each.  Connected a few days ago one amp to each power outlet bank.  Hum level mid 30 dB.  Then I added CD/SACD/DAC, Preamp and turntable.  Hum went up to 50 dB in one channel.  The channel with only one amp plug.  Nothing else.  Guessing interference between the banks. 50 dB is too high!

Viewed Audio Science Review looking inside well designed amplifier.  Looks like manufacturers spend a lot of time to get it right.  I just need to get the clean power to the device.

After the test with P1000 went back to Monster Power HTS2500 Reference Power Center.  No hum - what so ever. Maybe my issue is just power surge protection.  I have dedicated line from panel to outlet.  Outlet is PS Audio.

My P1000 and the Monster Power Center are about 15 years old.  

My conclusion.  Don't take risk with old power equipment, Instead buy two Tripp Lite Isobar Ultra 4-Outlet Surge Protectors,  Use one for the power amps.  One for turntable, cd/dvd etc. and pre-amp.  Excellent surge protection.  Equipment insurance for power surge for $ 25,000.  Less than $ 200.  Thanks for comments and guidance
