Power regenerator vs conditioner


If the goal is to improve the sound quality (soundstage, detail, dynamics, etc) and the issue is "noisy" AC, it would seem to me that a power regenerator such as PS Audio P15 would be far superior to a "conditioner" such as a Shunyata Denali or Hydra or Triton.  Is this correct?  Thanks .

I'll second the praise for the Puritan Conditioners - great value for money and an improvement over prior conditioners I've tried - whether and Isotek or PS Audio Regenerator.  The nice thing about the Puritan is that it does not appear to limit dynamics.
The elephant in the room that apparently can not be addressed
is: How does one Quantify what level of problem exists in his
own home ? 

I tried one once and the sound stage collapsed. Put me off them.
I am be fortunate to have a transformer on a pole not 100 feet from
my system. (Some would disagree for aesthetic reasons I am sure)

So in this case I may not have a need?? 

The Stromberg system at $30k will solve your problems. I noticed
two of them at Dan D'agostino's factory when I visited it. I do not think they are too budget conscience so the best is what he owns.

But what about the shadows P.I. Audio’s UberBuss device at $1,200?

Other people I know swear by the Niagra 7000 $5k (guessing on #) 
and others say the Shunyata Everest in the true nirvana. $7k.

It seems odd to me that in nearly 100 years of music technological evolution there is not more clarity on this question.

There must be device that can monitor my dedicated power line
for say 24 hours and give me some useful information???

Other than that your option is to "Buy one and try it".


Ralph, I see, thank you. PS Audio has a good trade-in approach. I can get $1.5K for my Premier if I buy $5k regenerator, so it would be $3.5k for me.
The regenerator is a good idea for your source components but your amplifier if it is large will need a conditioner because the expense of a regenerator to power an amp will be very pricey and i have heard that even some sources do not like regeneration.
