Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio?


Is the PS audio regenerator a good choice or are there others?

you know I gotta believe all the wonderful power supplies that already exist inside a higher level component no doubt do a lot of what the PS audio regenerator does. So at the end of it all what is the point of this PS audio regenerator? Are all these separate power supplies now pretty much irrelevant.

And these power regenerators apparently have amplifiers that act as amplifiers to amplifiers. Don’t existing amplifiers already have the capacity to deal with changes in audio dynamics, which I thought is a very important aspect of amplifier design.

From what I heard the external power filters and re-generators are usually better than what is inside amps. The internal ones are normally filters rather than re-generators. The big question in my mind is if the improvement is worth the cost and you might have to answer that one yourself. See if you can try some products at home.

I use a PS Audio P20 for my sources and an Audioquest Niagara 5000 power conditioner for my amps. Despite what anyone claims, I have found the P20 to limit dynamics and bass power for the amps but it excels for the constant current sources. The AQ seems to improve dynamics.

 

I have a P12 for the stereo stack (Oppomod 203, PSA DSdac, BHK pre, Pink Faun 2.16x, Cisco switch) and 2x P20's running my BHK 300 amps and SVS 3000 subs. Very happy with the performance increase with each one.
