| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on I have crappy power with THD often at 8 or 10%. Using a PS Audio PP12 regenerator made a huge difference, and then I moved on to Accuphase PS-530 and PS-1250 power supplies that eliminate THD and produce a perfect sine wave from the distorted wav... | |
