Anyone else regenerating A/C?

Everyone's take on that last point won't always be the same, probably because no two systems are the same. For instance, I've found that if I only have one superior power cord to use with my digital separates, it makes the most difference if I use it on the transport. But it makes sense that if someone has only one good power cord period, they should try it first on the central power distributor (if there is one) or preamp or power amp, since in a multi-source system those are the only positions that stand to benefit the entire system regardless of which source is chosen. But in my system, I can't hear the same degree of difference inserting any particular cord between the wall and the EP as I can inserting the same cord between the EP and, say, the power amp. This makes sense to me if the EP is doing the job it's supposed to, but it also makes sense to me that the first position could be more critical in systems whose power distributor/conditioner isn't of the active-correction type.

Sadly(from a financial point of view)the power cord issue is a BIG one,to me.This has been proven,time and time again,by a dear friend(who is obsessed with PC's,and has about 15 grand invested).I went with a PS-Audio Statement from wall to EP,and another from EP to Ultrapure.I added a(fabulous)Harmonic Technology Fantasy AC to my amp,and a Kimber Palladium PK-10 Gold(no filters)to my REL sub.The rest of my cords are an assortment of Electraglide,and JPS-digital on my CD.Though I am aware cords can continue to make a rather big difference,I am simply not going to allow myself to go further.
Neil,the Orpheus fund begins soon!!It will move slower this time,as I now am incredibly happy,and the "V" has very low hrs!Probably summer/fall.Just a point of interest.
More importantly,than any of this technospeak,I got some new KILLER SOFTWARE to enjoy,which is why I am in this hobby in the first place!!
Best to all!

Zaikesman, does the API provide redundant filtering in conjunction with the EP? I ask only because I see EP offers their balanced power solution with both a filtered and non-filtered option. I do like the fact that in the API unit each outlet is isolated with its own transformer.

Clio09: Yes it does. This can be problematic with power amps, which can sound constricted, if clean, plugged into the API. (The power amp outlets of course get only filtration, not isolation transformers. A lower-powered amp I once used didn't suffer this effect with the API, but the higher-power ones I've used since have.) Apparently the filtration doesn't harm sources however, which do sound better additionally plugged into the API than just running them straight out of the EP (and that's true whether or not the balanced AC is selected). I notice that on their website, EP never says that the redundant filtering will cause stuff to sound worse, only that it isn't necessary, so I assume the versions without the filters must be priced lower, enough to make the option attractive.

I am trying to figure out which of the series mode surge supressors will give me the most unconstricted power, can anyone help?
What i have been loosely planning on doing is hooking up an EP15A to a low cost 2-outlet series mode receptacle plugged into a 20 amp wall outlet.
I have been reading about how most or all surge supressors or line conditioners will constrict the power to a noticable degree, however, the specs on this always seem sketchy.
Brick Wall PW2RAUD -- 15A, marketed as "for high power audio applications...specifically designed to handle high current devices...with a masive reactor that will not be stressed or constrict [power]"

Brick Wall PW2R20 -- 20A. Considering that the only thing differentiating the AUD line from 'normal' Brick Walls is duplex isolation (not applicable here) wouldn't this naturally be much better than the PW2RAUD if you have a 20A outlet, although it isn't marketed as being specifically designed to handle high current devices?

SurgeX SA20 -- 20A, seems to have slightly better EMI/RFI filtering (higher "dB" at any given frequency is better, right?). Surgex claims none of their products limit the amout of current available. Surgex states: "In order to get electricity from the generating station to your equipment the power has to flow through copper wire and transformers - A LOT of copper wire! The power companies try to keep the final voltage close to 120V AC but it is usually one or two (or more) volts low or high. The series element inside SurgeX that concerns some people is made from 10 gauge copper wire (a heavier gauge than 15 or 20 amp house wiring). There is less copper wire in a SurgeX than between the local distribution transformer and your equipment. Any slight variation in voltage due to SurgeX will be less than the normal variations caused by power company fluctuations or voltage drops in the copper wiring powering the equipment." Is that a load of bull?

Which of these three do you think would limit the current the least, and would this be something to worry about in the realm of 100wpc stereo + dual class A/B 350w powered woofers? Would using a class D stereo amp help alleviate audible strains on the power supply?
