Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter

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.

Jallen, just FWIW but the big spike usually occurs when the power goes out, not when it comes back on. Its the same principle that makes the spark plugs run in a car.

PS Audio works at 8 bit, this gives it a mechanical sound and less musical. I use a Kemp Powersource+, this one always win from any PS Audio in tests in europe.
It does everything right what you would hope for. Even for the biggest poweramps. More drive and difinition in the lowest freq. The mids are more open, much sharper focus and more air around voices and instruments. This filter does also a lot for the sound. It becomes more musical and sounds more realistic. I do not know any filter which has this quality in imporving.

Jriggy,
This weekend I will be traveling to a friends house to evaluate the PT3. We will be listening to Ypsilon preamp, CAT 200 wpc,monos and Berkeley DAC with TAD Reference speakers. Also evaluatimg at an Acapella/ Ypsilon system and a Legacy Whisper system. Should be exciting. I will keep you posted. I have only listened for 10 hours and loaned it to a dealer-friend and he heard it and bought one. They seem to be for real. We shall see how the test of time and rock to classical is perceived. All systems have the PT 3. Jallen
