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.

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.
I did what I said I would do, and finally, this one-man jury has reached a verdict.

Conclusion: In all the A/B tests and experimentation I've conducted since my original post, I have arrived at the answer that in my system, high-end power cables connected AFTER the AC regenerator (i.e. from the Purepower 1050 to the preamp, another to the amp and one to each of the source components made a significant and immediate improvement in midrange clarity, bass articulation, depth, and shear musical impact.

On the other hand, anything I installed in the chain BEFORE the AC regenerator (i.e high end power cable from the wall to the Purepower 1050, high-end wall receptacle, as well as a 20Amp dedicated line that cost me over $500 -- made absolutely no audible difference at all.

My expensive conclusion is that the PurePower 1050 is doing exactly what they claim it does –– no matter what crap comes out of the wall, be it dirty power from the grid, erratic voltage drops or spikes, whatever, it doesn't seem to matter -- the Purepower doesn't care -- it strips out the grunge from the AC by converting it, waxing it, polishing it, and generally having its way with it to create brand-new, virgin, perfectly shaped sine-wave, completely steady 120V AC with copious headroom reserves for instantaneous availability to all components. This unit has transformed my system in so many ways. Aside from the usual inner micro details that have emerged from the deep, music is much more dynamic, richer, with faster attack than I've ever heard.

No I'm not on their payroll, just a happy customer. This is the best $2500 I ever spent upgrading my system. See if you can borrow one somehow and hear for yourself. And please, don't lump this remarkable product in with power conditioners and filters, no matter how expensive. This is a different animal altogether. If you have any questions, please ask. Alonski out.
No surprise that they almost never appear here for sale used, and when they do they sell immideately. I wonder if two of them would make a difference, one for power amps and another for the rest?
