Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators

A regenerator is a rectifier that feeds an inverter with a lot of capacitance in between. Many companies make rectifiers and many make inverters. 

Any regenerator can be matched by most full sine wave battery power stations available on the market today … for a fraction of the cost. The difference going from filtered mains to battery was nothing short of dramatic.

I like my niagara 1200 and my Furman pst-8, both designed by Garth Powell. Great quality for not a lot of money.

@mijostyn - I have a similar connection scheme with similar results, low/no noise and great dynamics.  Dedicated lines for two amps and a third dedicated line to an Isoclean filter for all the front-end stuff.  No regenerators, etc.  Maybe I am lucky not to live in a big city or somewhere else with crappy power, but never understood the need for these things.

I owned a Bryston BIT20, and got caught up in the power regeneration concept....and sold the BIT20 for a PS Audio P10 regenerator.  Turns out my power was pretty clean to begin with. Sold the P10 and bought another Bryston BIT20.  
The BIT20 makes a massive improvment to overall system performance.  I didnt have both the Bryston and PS Audio on hand at the same to A/B...but in my brain, the BIT20 is the winner.  And product quality is top notch.  

Audioguy85, I have a Furman UPS and I have to say they build fine equipment.

@mitch2, I think the vast majority of people would do just fine without anything. The money would be better spent on upgrading speakers and amplifiers or getting subwoofers. If you really want to enter a whole new world of high fidelity get a DEQX HDP-5 and a Dayton OmniMic. Last night I was demonstrating my system to my son in law. I was demonstrating what the TacT does (besides burning up loudspeakers) and I flipped it to bypass. I had not done this since I finished getting everything tuned up. The difference was so shocking I thought something was wrong. I started checking everything, It couldn't sound that bad? Flipped correction back in, wonderful. I had been listening to it over a month for hours at a time, for days at a time and had gotten so use to the Sound Labs performing at their best I had totally forgotten what the system sounded like in the beginning. The immediate switch was a real jolt. I am not prone to superlatives. When I hear them I immediately think the person is full of it. Maybe I am but, this was something else.
