I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?

My PurePower APS 1050 AC Regenerator made an incredible difference in my system. Since everything connected to the unit is fed perfect, steady 120V power, is there any reason to expect that running a dedicated 20 amp AC line to my system and installing new high end receptacles would make any difference at all??? If you have experience with this I would appreciate your opinion, if you have an opinion without experience, tell me your thoughts about this. Hurry, before I spend any more money just to find out!

Thanks.

I have the PurePower 700 and do run it off a dedicated line, can't hurt and since it will only increase peak performance seems logical to me.

KennyT,

Have you A/B 'd your system when the PurePower 700 is plugged into your dedicated line vs. a regular outlet? That would be a great experiment!

Yes a dedicated line will help; a related question often comes up; why spend any money on a good AC cord to the regenerator when perfect AC will come out anyway? My experience is that using a very good cord to the regenerator makes it sound better; PS Audio says this also and Shunyata says the most important AC cord in the system is the one between the wall and the conditioner. By extension we can see that quality of the AC line must also have an effect.

If it is truly regenerating the power then I can't see a connection between the input and output. That's the whole point of regenerating the power in the first place, right?

If I upgraded the power cord, outlet, or got a dedicated line and could hear a difference, I would want my money back.
