Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter

Thats good news heavenly.It will probably continue to improve through out the week.You are right dont look back,the fact that your system is on its own dedicated lines (to me) it was convincing enough...there was no doubt.The addition of the beefed up outlets to deliver current?I would as i said before try a passive type conditioner(imho).The point that made sense about ps audio regenerater was it was like a washing machine altering signal,differant strokes...believe your ears and not what people try to get you on board with what they are using,system dependent?What worked in my system,so much is just trying...next is room acoustics?thats were they head scratching come in.

I just received my Plasmatron from vh audio and strongly recommend a listen before any big purchases. Mine has 4 Furutech Rhodium outlets and will manage 3 amps or approx. 360 watts. A preamp is usually pulling 60-90 watts a DA converter 20-50 watts cd player the same or less.
Sonically, you will just to listen for yourself. All I can say is a friend who just bought one is replacing his Synergestic power cell with the Plasmatron. I like it better thsn the Ps audio powerplant I compared it with. They are not cheap at about 4k. The build quality is superb. 5-6 friends also purchased one. None are returning them. They do have a generous return policy. When mine is broken in I will write a formal review. Jallen

This is a fascinating and important discussion. One thing nobody has brought up is what happens when a sudden blackout occurs. I'm sure at least some components could be damaged, and that means $$$ in high-end audio. That's when battery backup such as the one offered by PurePower+ is priceless, IMHO, but I would like to hear from others. I use an APC S15 at home just because of this problem which is recurrent in our area, and if I wanted to upgrade it would be very difficult for me not to take this into account, no matter how much better sounding a pure power conditioner with no backup would be.

The problem is not when the lights go out but when they come back on with a big surg od power and everything gets slammed. Usually a big DC thump which is great on tweeters. Surge protection is good, even at some marginal audio sacrifice. MOV's are effective but can allow voltage in excess of 120 -140V to slip by making components very unhappy. Jallen

Jallen,
I look forward to hearing your impressions of the plasmatron. PM?
I have been talking with Chris of VH Audio, getting the lowdown --or what little they will tell about this bad boy! Hey, can't blame em for keeping its magic under wraps. But on the surface, it sounds kinda special.
