I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
OK, Gentlemen, here's something that should stir up some controversy: an actual A/B comparison!Some background: it's after 3:30AM and in a few hours my electrician is coming to do some work at the house, including, if I want, dedicated 20A lines t...

HifiHvn,What were you referring to when you wrote that they misprinted the Pure Power owner's manual?BTW, I bought my first audiophile gear at Hi Fi Haven, which was a high-end audio dealer in my college neighborhood in NJ. This was not a part of ...

Ah, Stanwal – Here we are again with the classic argument between reasonable logic and actual experience. We've probably all heard the famous audiophile mantra: "If it measures good and sounds bad, it's bad. If it measures bad and sounds good, you... 
I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
OK ZMan and KennyT, I'm in. I thought adding a dedicated line would cost over $1000 – nothing is really cheap in San Francisco! if it is indeed less than a good power cord, it's a good solution... then I can do a bunch of A/Bs and report back to a...

Hey Stanwal, I can't quite tell who you mean by YOU... you seem annoyed. Regardless, I just went to PS Audio's web site to read what you said they said, and found it to be unclear and not really in support of your post. And I quote, from their pag... 
I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
Hey Jdub39, you're killing me here... As an audiophile, I will do almost anything for better sound, and your reasoning is very much like my own... I want to believe, however, I'm trying to do what I always do, which is to "prove" to myself (and my...

Mceljo: That makes sense, my old cable must have been introducing some EMF grunge that did not come from the regenerator, but maybe picked up via air or proximity to other stock cables that are not shielded well.Aside from shielding from EMF and E... 
I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
I tend to agree with Mceljo. The PurePower AC regenerator takes any crap coming out of the wall, converts it to DC, which completely eliminates the grunge and then converts it again to CREATE brand new perfect sign wave 120V power which it stores ...

KennyT,Have you A/B 'd your system when the PurePower 700 is plugged into your dedicated line vs. a regular outlet? That would be a great experiment! 
Anticables Review
As I write this, I'm listening to Wes Montgomery's Tequila LP on a system wired with Anti-Cables and Anti-ICs. Here's my advice: Given that no one brand of cable will be right for every system – if you're in the market for an upgrade, forget all y... 
Your First Concert was.....
Ramones at Rutgers University (for some reason it doesn't show the 'subject' line in these postings... 
Your First Concert was.....
Rutgers University Auditorium. Their first song had me covering my ears – and I still felt like a knife was being pushed into my eardrum. It actually hurt. The SPL was probably around 140dB. I ran out of there, but I'm still paying for it with hea... 
What is your favorite recording with a quirck
On a good used copy of Yes Fragile LP I just purchased, I heard something really strange:I had on my AKG 702s, fed by my Raptor headphone amp, VAC preamp and a killer analog front end and was listening to one of my favorite tracks, Mood For A Day,... 
Weird, fascinating phenomenon on Yes Fragile LP
Shadorne, that A'gon thread is great. I'm going to get Shirley Horn's album just to hear her call Miles Davis an A**hole! Your posts seem very well informed, how is it you have the inside scoop on these recordings and the stories behind them? 
Weird, fascinating phenomenon on Yes Fragile LP
Thanks for your insights, as well as the anecdote about Sting annoying Copeland... I can see him doing that. My analog rig is very revealing. Maybe on a "regular" record player the effect is not so dramatic and the producers thought no one would n...
