Anyone else regenerating A/C?

FWIW I have the low end APS product and have to say that I am very impressed for the money. Seems to do it all well. I do however run my Pass directly to the wall. And yes, I feed the APS from my best power cord, a conclusion that the cord manufacturer seconded.

Great discussion guys but I am still unclear about the difference between the two Exact Power products the EP and the SP - enlightement please?

Ckorody, the EP is a power regenerator, the SP is a balanced power unit. All is made clear on their website:

www.exactpower.com
.

SP units use balanced power transformers and are passive devices, intended mainly to follow the active EP. Companies including the aptly named BPT, API Power Wedge, Equi=Tech and others also offer component units based around balanced power transformers. But to get balanced AC to a power amp, you'd need to go with one of the larger BPT or E=T type units (or use a suitable transformer that's not packaged as a rack component), EP and API don't offer ones that large.

I'd like to second an earlier post asking for a listening omparison between the Shunyata Hydra and the Exact Power EP/SP combo. Has any one auditioned both?

It doesn't appear that the two power solutions compare like apples to apples. The Shunyata webpage says that the Hydra filters noise and isolates the components from each other, but does not claim that the unit regulates voltage.

Shunyata doesn't say how the Hydra's component isolation is accomplished, but apparently it does not offer a dedicated iso transformer for each outlet, as with the PS Audio Power Plant Premier. From the ExactPower webpage, the EP15a only separates the digital outlets from the rest. Can anyone make the case for the further isolation of EVERY component from every other component, via separate iso transformers or other filtering methods; or should it be sufficient to isolate the digital gear only?

A more recent technology comparison would be the New PS Audio Power Plant Premier vs. the New Shunyata Hydra V-Ray. These are both new and updated technologies which should bring power conditioning to a new level. I also heard Furman has recently released some really good conditioners as well. I’m interested to hear anyone’s experiences with any of these fine products.
