Power conditioners and power regeneration
There are so many different options on this subject it’s unbelievable. But in the meantime it seems to me that between two companies that I’m comparing, they seem to do the same thing with power conditioning, and as far as I can tell there is no audible difference. Comparing two different conditioners, the elite 20 pfi and the aq pq2. On the other hand, I’ve heard that power regeneration is good, but it also can generate noise. Besides plugging into the wall, which I know works great, I still would like some protection to my amplifiers against brown out or surges. Has anyone else experienced any difference with these 2 products?

Before I answer did you check out my virtual system yet? Very low on aesthetics, high on SQ. Studio's are built like tanks, practically bomb proof, they are work spaces. I agree that consumer gear is MUCH more practical. When it comes to power though what do you want? Something that's a work horse, bomb proof, and transparent enough to reveal the nuance in a master tape right? I have never auditioned the PS Audio power gear, no disrespect. But to claim its number one?? |
the thought that there is perfect power on the poles is not just wrong, it's dead wrong. most of the noise on the system comes from large industrial and combined residential loads and affects the entire system. BTW, I've worked 40+ years for an electric utility. the clipped sine waves and 4% thd I see doesn't happen after it leaves the pole. Jerry |
