Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio?


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

Is there that much of a difference between 117 V and 121 V coming through your system?

I've seen a 3 volt change like that rob an amp of 40 watts of power. But a conditioner does more than that- a good one will provide a clean AC waveform, thus allowing the power supplies in audio equipment to operated as designed.

An amplifier would have to be deficient, defective, or broken for this claim and  assertion to be accurate.

Sagging voltage can reduce peak power output from an amplifier. I’ve also  encounterd distribution networks that are so stiff that they damage mechanical equipment.

A lot depends on the amplifier! In this case it was a tube amplifier. Tube amps have a filament circuit and when the voltage on the filaments decreases the transconductance of the power tubes falls off- combine that with reduced plate voltage and you can see substantial losses of power. But you will see a power loss with any amplifier!
