I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?

OK ZMan and KennyT, I'm in. I thought adding a dedicated line would cost over $1000 – nothing is really cheap in San Francisco! if it is indeed less than a good power cord, it's a good solution... then I can do a bunch of A/Bs and report back to anyone who is interested. Maybe I'll align with Stanwal... maybe Mceljo's logic will will prevail... either way it should be fun finding out.

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts.

Alonski my dedicated line was $350. And the line was 75' to my listening room. We also A/B new and old lines for noise.

Electrician spent more time determining where to drop the line from the attic and avoiding a cold waterline during installation.

The only benefit a dedicated line may have would be if you have a large power drop due to a long light gauge run, and a large high-power amp, that draws a lot of line power. This could cause voltage drops, but according to Pure Power, they even have this problem covered. If it does as promised, I don't see any benefit of changing anything before it. Link.

Don't forget, it's not a conditioner. Also, the high quality power the unit is supposed to give out will still get filtered even more through your amps power supply. These audio gear power supplies are designed to filter a lot of dirty power themselves.

Alonski, I have now or have had a variety of PS Audio products and have read the instructions that came with them. They DO say that the better the power cord used the better the regenerator will sound. If you would also look at the HIGHFICRITIC review of the PPP they point out that the power cord is a critical part of its function. Also an engineering friend of mine actually measured the difference in current between untreated, through the PPP , and through my VPI SDS. The SDS gave the best current, not surprising as its output is a fraction of that of the PPP. If the PPP was in fact "perfect" it would have been as good as the SDS. I do get a little irritated being lectured by someone who has glanced at the web site while I have actually used the gear myself; I try to confine myself to things I actually know something about, not make guesses based on my own preconceptions.
