If yes, how much (%) the sound becames really better?
Worth?
Which is the best brand? 

Thanks a lot,

The howl it made trying to handle a plasma TV drove me crazy especially considering that the PS Audio tech staff said there was nothing wrong with it.  

switching power supplies dont like driving other swithcing PS cause the load changes inductance and capacitance so much depending on the varing Load. they like constant impeadances  like a load resistor across the output.. like driving difficult computer systems.
well known in the Server world look at the huge inductors on the main feedsw to smooth out the ride.
I have used PS Audio Products since the 1980's so, yes, I drank the koolaid.  That said it is a wonderful company.  I currently own the P-10, a P-5 and a P-3.  Like others my P-10 runs everything on my system except the subs.
The sound is cleaner, blacker and more detailed.  One benefit of power gen that is not often mentioned is the significant improvement to the picture quality to my big screen TV.
PS Audio recently upgraded all their models, so you might find a good deal on a used P-10 or P-5.  If you want a good deal on a new model visit https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/ps-audio.  Good Luck 
Holy cow!!! that things expensive.... You guys got too much free $$$$.
a pure sinewave UPS with an external THD and scope digital analyzer and protection from loss of power is like 1/2 that cost. the many utility transformers and line losses are irrelevent to your final load after the UPS also with better than 1 volt regulation. and you can run 5-7000 watts not only 2000. IM in the wrong business... LOL.
If a digital bigscreen is improving from a line feed correction something else is wrong with your system. sorry. maybe if things were still analog you would have a excuse.
I say do as you with its your money..
the intergrated scope and analyzer is calibrated to whos and what standards- NIST-MIl Std. with what traceability????

@sacresta ... you mentioned NYC in one of your earlier posts in this thread.  If you’re located here (as I am) — or in any urban environment — then I think your interest in a regenerator is especially warranted.  I’m in Brooklyn with sometimes OK AC and oftentimes awful AC.  I started with a PS Audio P3 and now have a P5.

I noticed the benefit of regeneration immediately, but it took upgrading to realize what I had.  After removing the P3 from my system, and while waiting for the P5, I remember struggling to listen to my system at all ... it just wasn’t all that pleasurable after experiencing my system on regenerated power.  It was frustratingly variable and usually struck me as harsh and unfocused.  Getting regenerated power back in my system was a huge relief.

Overall, PS Audio was/is a dream to deal with, and you may find a unit in the P3/P5/P10 series or the newer P12/P15/P20 series to be indispensable.
