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.

If I were you I would repeat the experiment with the amps and speakers not headphones to see how the 1050 handles that. Dedicated lines might still help, I don't know, to make the regenerator's job easier.
We are not crazy here just a little strange.
Inna, I will do that, probably tonight. Right now, the electrician is here and he gave me a quote to run two 20A dedicated lines from the main panel to my gear (about 40 ft. of conduit) with 10/3 wire for about $600! I mentioned on this thread earlier that San francisco prices for just about anything are about double that of other areas in the country.

I have about 3 hours before he needs a decision. Considering the results of my A/B comparison so far, I'm not sure the investment would pay off... $600 buys a lot of vinyl...
Well, I guess you can do it later if you decide to. I would most likely do it. You have a very hi-end system so $600 for that is not really much. Besides, who knows what the difference would be if you upgrade your amps or something else in the future.
Wasted money is wasted money and it could be put into something better like vinyl.

From my perspective, there are two main things to consider. First, the advertised engineering behind the product strongly states, from a logical perspective, that an upgraded power cord should NOT make any difference. Second, if you assume that the manufacture is being honest in their adversiting and you do hear a difference with an upgraded power cord the logical conclusion is that it's for a different reason other than it actually improving the output of the regenerator. As Al mentioned earlier, there can be differences from using shielded power cords because they isolate themselves from other sensitive components and/or cables. If this is true, then it still doesn't matter what is behind the outlet unless you're planning to run 100% shielded lines and this is unlikely.

Just because you hear a difference in an A/B doesn't mean that it's due to a change at the output on the regenerator. Don't forget this fact.

I think you're both.
