Power regenerator vs conditioner

JRW-

I learned more in 5 minutes reading your reply than in 5 years
of reading reviews. Thanks!! 

Now who has tried the Shunyata Everest???

JRW - 

I agree with chorus that your response was excellent and very useful. Thank you - sincerely - for sharing your experiences.

The one important question I have for you (so I don't repeat the mistakes others such as you have made and learned from) is could you please name some or all of these "crappier conditioners" that crush the dynamics, etc.

I have read so many times about these issues, but it seems to always be in the context of a positive review or statement about "conditioner A",  which DOESN'T screw up the current flow like others do. And I read this same thing about all of them! So, please do let me know which ones are actually crappy in your view. I will avoid them like COVID!

Thank you. 

Does Millercarbon own a PS Audio Power Plant 20 or is he relying on what he has read? I do own one and it made a huge difference in my system. I had a Niagara 5000 first and My ears liked the PP 20 better.

If you do want to read an article my I suggest  Waiting for a bypass Analog Corner by Michael Fremer April 2021 Stereophile 

Michael Fremer lost his audio system to a switch for his back up power generator.  While pending a separation of that power switch from his audio system, he installed PS Audio's power regenerator.  The result is that he got his system back.  Many audiophiles maybe suffering with bad power.  Of course, battery only power is the best source but alternatively, providing clean power to one's system may require heroic/expensive measures such as regenerators and conditioners.  

I have a pair of 125w. tube monoblocks that use a pair of 7" tall by 3" diameter electrolytic storage caps.  I'm getting huge steady power in those amps.  My EAR 890 has dinky little caps, not quite the bass power of the monoblocks but certainly adequate.   I have a separate audio power panel so that could be a reason for the excellent amp power.

rbyington711,

I also am fascinated by Mike Fremer's story.  He said that the P20 + P15 restored his sound to the AQ 7000 level before the generator switch messed things up, but he implies that the P20 + P15 is no better than AQ.  He hasn't decided whether to get the bypass switch that will enable him to use the AQ.  If he does, then he will compare the P20 + P15 to AQ 7000 using the original power line. 

Until then, can you be specific about what you heard from the P20 that was better than AQ 5000?

PS Audio seems to imply that their regenerated power is still a modified sine wave with slightly rounded tops and bottoms.  The multi wave function may make the tops and bottoms more rounded and flat, making it a little like a square wave. which someone said dulled the sound.  Inverters probably vary in their modifications of the perfect sine wave.  Has anyone compared the Goal Zero Yeti 1000 inverter to the PS Audio?
