Oh I am also still using my 17yo PSA PPP (out of regular ac line) in bed room to plug my big Sony Oled plus Marshall blutooth speaker into—even my 10yo nephew could appreciate the picture and sound quality improvements. My old P10 fared even better there but couldn’t fit into the cabinet.

@jumia The power regenerator is a form of power conditioning. In this case its the best one offered to high end audio. your last paragraph above has nothing to do with what the power regenerator does or offers. Dirty power can affect the sound of a lot of components. It can affect the noise floor and can mess with distortion. Cleaning up the AC power allows the power supplies in your equipment to work more efficiently and so produce less noise. This statement:
Is false. If the amp has a regulated power supply it might be able to deal with voltage swings (which can last far longer than the storage in an amplifier's power supply could ever deal with). Amps maintain storage to have an energy store from which to draw power for sure, but if the voltage has sagged on a hot day when everyone is running air conditioning the amp will suffer.
The reason is more than just high frequency hash! The 5th harmonic on the AC Line is one of the more pesky issues you can run into from a power supply point of view and a hash filter will do nothing to stop it. The PS Audio regenerators can block the 5th harmonic entirely - and are are one of the very few high end conditioners that can do so. The 5th harmonic (300Hz in the US) can cause power transformers to rattle and run warm; power rectifiers to become noisy and AC motors to possibly run backwards.
