AB testing of power regenerators?? Ever do it?

I would like to think that regenerator improves a system but in all fairness most people have electricity sources that do not require it. And therefore it appears to be in most cases a gimmick.

Don’t see Power regenerators at audio shows very often, which is where it clearly should be if there was value in the device with all the Power activity going on with all the related to audio systems. Do see a lot of power conditioners obviously. And based upon response to this thread it would seem many do not know what the before and after impact is.

If it does have a meaningful impact on the system I would be interested but there’s limited support to justify getting one.

@emergingsoul the PP10 has a built in oscilloscope.

Ever since the first grade I've been fascinated by clean power and how it impacts my audio system.  During recess I would escape to a nearby audio shop to see the latest Power conditioners and regenerators.
 

Really?

I'll add that since I have a scope to measure the quality of the incoming power, I check it occasionally, and it doesn't vary much.  Rignt now it is 3.0% distortion (that is a measure of the departure of the incoming sine wave to a perfect 60 Hz sine wave).  It may vary as low as 2 and as high as 4.  but those are all more than an order of magnitude greater than the .1% output.  

This holds true late at night, weekends, and holidays.  It isn't better late at night.  It isn't better on sunday morning.  So those who think their rig sounds better late at night because power is better need to find another theory (alcohol?).  

A regenerator is built around the inverter.  It is very easy to rectify the incoming.  all the cost of a regenerator is in the audio quality inverter to get the .1% distortion.

I challenge people who think going to costco (or Tesla) and getting a battery system will give them cleaner power when they have no specs on the inverter.  most equipment around the house could care less what the sine wave looks like.  Even consumer electronics don't care.  So there is no real reason to put an expensive inverter in these things.  I remember then my dad bought  an inverter that ran off the truck battery to provide 110 to run saws and equipment on the farm.  It literally put out a square wave.

Good information about this thing called an oscilloscope.

So I guess it gets down to if you're amplifier doesn't do a good job with the incoming power then one of these things makes sense.  Of course I wonder how how much the sine wave changes via oscilloscope measurement going through a quality power conditioner.

You made a decision to go with A Power regenerator because you're incoming power is deserving of attention Beyond what a conditioner could do.
