AC Regenerator

Another PS Audio user here, dual P10's in my case.  I used a P300 back when PS Audio put out their first regenerator (late 90's), and I wasn't all that impressed (except by the waste heat - - wow did it get hot!).  The P10 is entirely a different story, delivering reliable power while generating just a bit of heat itself.  I agree with Elizabeth's general descriptions for the improvements to be had, but with the P10 I don't lose the bass output, even with my 300 watt ss Class A/B mono amps plugged in.  I get a system that does not vary so much from midday to late night, etc., and with all of the clarity and "rightness" of music.  I think they are well worthwhile.

@jbrrp1   Great point about the sound of the system not varying with time of day like it often does without regeneration!  That was one of the main reasons I bought my first regenerator, the P500, years ago.  You are right about the heat.  It was tough to run in the summer.

Oner more point I failed mention about my P5.  It does not restrict the dynamics of my system at all to run my 275 watt/ch. into 6 ohms SS amp off of it.

I'm listening right now to the Reference Recordings LP of Mike Garson's Oxnard Sessions Volume 2.  Spectacularly dynamic, spacious, just lovely sound.

PPP that I use does not restrict dynamics and makes everything better, including the dynamics. The wall current here is terrible, unstable and very dirty. My amp is 120 Watt/Ch, the entire system is plugged in the Premier. Power cord from the wall to PPP is Custom Cord Company Top Gun.

@inna   That's great!! I'm glad to hear that your PPP is working so well for you.  You are probably experiencing a significant improvement as you state you have "very dirty" power.  My incoming AC only has 1.7% THD.  From what you are saying your THD would be significantly higher than that making your PPP a true godsend.

Incoming THD is 2.0% at best and usually worse. In the past two years I made four upgrades: 1. PPP - biggest improvement, 2. Purist Audio Neptune interconnects between phono stage and integrated amp - second biggest, 3. Purist Audio Dominus RevB Ferox power cord for the amp - third biggest. But all three were quite big. I also got Tchernov Reference MK II interconnects that I use from phono to tape deck when I run the system like that, which is often. In this case Purist goes between deck and amp. In fact, in my system this arrangement gives overall the best sound from vinyl.
