Is the Cyberpower Pure Sine AC regenerator a good buy?

Hi All,

I've dived deep into Audiogon threads regarding power conditioning, and have come across a barand/model of AC regeneration that appears to be somewhat more cost effective than PS Audio offerings.  But are they effective?  i'm not sure.  Can an Cyberpower PFC Pure Sine Wave AC regernators chime-in an comment if the units made any audible improvement in your system?  Thanks!

It doesn't regen when it's plugged in, unless you modify it.

IMHO not worth it.

What is the process called that ensures the output power is pure sine wave?

Ok after a lot of research, it appears that Pure Sine Wave Battery back-up units only output the pure sine wave when not plugged-in.  The problem here is you need big a$$ batteries to power your rig for a reasonable amount of time.

If plugged in, the units can still output a pure sine wave but mixed with "filtered wall AC."

Can any of you "Battery-people" share your rigs so we can see how you're getting your pure sine wave AC?
