What happened to Exact Power


I just wanted to find out what Exact Power was up to these days, owning the SP15A and EP15a, and found a complete new line that seems to have little in common with high end-audio any longer. Does anybody know what happened to the company?

Ron Jackson still seems to have his Jackson Engineering transformer and toroidal companies in Chatsworth, CA. But it seems he's setting up Magnetic Core Corporation to expand into the consumer electronics, PDA, and computer industries.
Much as I love the design, Darkmoebius is right, Exactpower was bought by Middle Atlantic Products last year and they have stopped producing/supporting consumer units (partly because a major parts supplier went bust.) And their commercial products are not regenerators, just heavy-duty building distribution/protection systems.

The good news is, I'm having lunch with Bob Schluter, MAP's President and CEO on Aug. 13th to discuss (among other things) the importance of him having a presence in the consumer market, and the very special features of the EP-15A design, for which he is now the patent owner!

It could help the cause, if lots of audiophiles contacted MAP and let them know you want the EP-15A and the other consumer products back. You can call or e-mail:

Or you can email me through Audiogon's email system and I will be happy to convey your interest to Mr. Schluter when I meet with him. Thanks everyone, and I'll let you know what happens.

Neil, I really think it is great that a CEO would take the time to meet with a hobbyist who is outside of his target market. This kinda gives me hope.

I never got the chance to own an EP product, but when I owned an Art Audio PX-25 amp, the owner of AA said that EP products were the only ones he found that did not adversely affect dynamics and sound.

Good luck with your meeting
DM, I actually have a bit more cred than the average Audiophile, but I think Mr. Schluter wants to meet as a result of several emails I sent urging him to rethink his marketing strategy. After all, he's a businessman, not a philanthropist ;-)

His company is in NJ, but he has property north of Tucson, where I live, so we agreed to get together when he next came to town. The EP is a unique device, and I feel that someone should continue to develop it, and keep it on the market.

I think if MAP could figure out how to produce the EP15A at a price point at least 25% less, the unit would be a better business opportunity. I recall that this piece sold new for about $2k. Personally, I wouldn't pay that much for this unit, or any other AC conditioning/regenerating device for that matter.
