line conditioner for amplifiers

i have noticed the beginning of the summer degradation in the quality of the ac. LIPA is doing it again.

so, i am considering a regenerator for my vtl deluxe 120s.

ps audio is one company manufacturing such a product, including models p 500 and p 1000.

i own a p300 which i use with a tube preamp, ultimate outlet and two tubed cd players.

i like the affect of the p 300 on treble frequencies.

is it possible the p 500 and/or p 1000 engender attenuation of the treble, the way the p 300 does ?

Wow, If the P300 is attenuating the treble, I sure don't want one. Thanks for the warning!

Interestingly this is the first time I have heard of a PS product attenuating high frequencies. :-)

hi 9rw, you are correct, i8 offer no proof other than an opinion. thank you for your astute observation.

there is no proof as to perception of sound. its called perception because its not logic.

my purpose is to find out if anyone has perceived a change in frequency response when using the p 500 or p 1000.

it is possible that i perceive changes in frequency response which are not confirmed by others.

i accept that possibility.

ultimately, i may have to audition evry component i am considering for purchase and not rely on the experiences of others, because perceptions are idiosyncratic.

i've just been told that Silver Circle has just developed a power conditioner based on a 5.0kVa isolation transformer, which to my knowledge is the largest isolation tranny in any audiophile power conditioning product. and IME, the reason more audiophiles don't condition their amps is b/c any active conditioning (i.e. isolation trannys) are undersized relative to the draw.

do see my review of the 3.0 PP1 for further info.
