Both are "power conditioners". The PS Audio PPP actually regenerates power and here is a link- http://www.psaudio.com/products/moreinfo.asp
The Powercell uses a electromagnetic cell and here is some info-
The Tesla Power Cell was inspired by Ted Denney's dissatisfaction with the current state of AC power conditioning. His listening tests confirmed to him, that most line conditioners to date have been subtractive in nature offering only to smooth out undesirable aspects of AC contamination and at best offering a somewhat more pleasant overall sound at the expense of detail, air, and low frequency impact and control. At worst, they tend to compress spatial information and can even degrade high frequency air and transparency.
Ted began work on a completely new concept in line conditioning by passing AC through an electromagnetic cell. This new patent pending technology works out side the signal path to condition alternating current with differential EM fields. Most line conditioners condition your electricity with components like transformers or chokes placed in the signal path.
This approach often creates an many problems as it attempts to solve as in-line and parallel components act to slow transient response as they saturate and desiderate in response to fluctuating current demand and can be heard as a muddying of low frequencies and a shrinking of the sound stage. This is why it is not usually a good idea to plug power amplifiers directly into a line conditioner.
By contrast, the Synergistic Research Power Cell actually improves a power amplifiers low frequency impact, control, and extension when compared to the direct wall connection. It also significantly increases overall soundstage width, height, and dramatically improves the front to back layering and air. Midrange texture is improved with rich natural texture and highs are more extended and transparent, while sounding sweeter and crystal clear.
Video monitors and projectors present images with greater color saturation, less noise, with less motion artifacts, and appear almost three-dimensional. In fact, the more components you plug into a Synergistic Research Power Cell the more efficient its internal power cell becomes and the clearer your system
will sound and look.
I have not done a demo of the Powercell "yet" to compare the two. Still think a phone call to Synergistic Research will help you out with answers.
