Interesting question

If You are trying to get the absolute maximum performance out of your amp what you stated is unfortunately PROVABLY incorrect

@@davidcross890 fair enough, you're likey correct, I'm content with what I have.

I think at least one of these items mentioned could make a difference, but definitely the speakers/headphones make the most then amp/dac then the rest, cable lifters though, probably not.

me too !

@Douglas Blake well that IS good news, thankyou lol

@Douglas Blake tell that to all who subscribe here, all they do is upgrade all the time haha

Does it really make a difference?

@@SergeySedlovsky What part of "ranks among the most jaw-dropping moments in my Audio life" aren't you getting? Yes, it makes an enormous difference. Probably the single most mission-critical item in my equipment rack. But don't take my word for it. Contact Paul and ask him to send you one to try out for yourself .... they make several models to suit needs and budget. You can just send it back if you're not sufficiently impressed. Paul's a guy who genuinely puts his money where his mouth is.

@@TalosLives I've contacted Paul on the Ask Paul projected we'll see if he answers. Can you say, without the regenerator, are the dynamics out for you like flat for the most part and sometimes, just sometimes you get some? :) That's pretty much what I have here, tonight actually had some decent dynamics on my high-end system (Mostly headphones, Class A system like DAC and Headphone amp both Class A)

You buy one, do the test yourself at home and if isn’t true then you return it and get your money back. Easy

@@tudorsomkereki9603 Curious, what makes you think it was not already tested?

Yes, but it can be dirty noisy power, your fridge won't mind, but you hifi will it seems

@@geddylee501 I know anything with an electric motor or radio transmitter is a nightmare to hifi.

@@randomtube8226 never had a problem, I'm in uk we have 240v 50hz which is different in the US I know, perhaps our power is cleaner lol 👍

But a power conditioner can't stop all potentially damaging surges and spikes. Technically, a regenerator is still only as good as the power getting to it allows, and it can be damaged by extreme conditions. As for lightning, Nothing can stop a large-enough zap from destroying your equipment!

Most All people have other high consumption or contamination power consumption devices that create those sags and/or noise on either or both of their "legs" of 120 volt power and if not at that moment the issue can easily compounded by neighbors electrical use and further contamination as a certain number share off the same overall transformers not to mention how power is shared across the country under load usage sharing and/or all types of power generation noise contamination

Low voltage is a problem mainly for induction motors, something that is not normally part of audio equipment. The most vulnerable one is a refrigerator, freezer, or A/C compressor motor.

@@spacemissing I agree. But, in the case of things like electronic equipment as the power lead voltage goes down that may cause the power supply to go into what I'll call an "active mode". And all bets are off as to what the circuits the power supply is supporting do. In my case the military circuits I did had low voltage, and high voltage, sensor circuits that quickly turned things off if the voltage feed went outside a chosen range.

They don't have pits, they have reflective and transparent/non reflecting surface areas (that are shallow trenches at the most). And those are defined as 1's and 0's. If you remember your math classes, you will remember that you can always define something as a number, and use it for mathematical calculations. A CD is a practical example of that. You're welcome :)

@@hugobloemers4425 Correction again. There are three kinds of "CD's". Optical as you describe, reflective and non-reflective created by "optical printing". Then there's the write once read many times version. Then there's the write many read many R/W CD's. The latter two were really technical monsters and are all but obsolete today.

@@wilcalint I was talking about the original Compact Disk according the the Philips / Sony original specification. The point is that it is 1's and 0's that are used to code the music.

@@hugobloemers4425 Well that would be Compact Disc Digital Audio - The Red Book en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_Digital_Audio The implementation of that can take many different paths and has so over the years. The initial phases are optical, then masking. Waving ones arms over it all and saying it's reflective and non-reflective surfaces is an over simplification. I was once contracted by a Major Label Media Company to do some research on finding a removable media to store digital content. Like it's still readable 100 years after being written. That involved using the engineering staff at 3M. The conclusion of that study found that part of the process of Mastering a standard Red Book CD involved a media that indeed had a life longevity of in the words of the 3M engineering staff, "as long as the age of the pyramids". That was optical. It's all become a mute point now as Red Book media has really become pase'. A good read on this is: Compact Disc manufacturing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_manufacturing

@@hugobloemers4425 1s and 0s are an imaginary thing made up by humans.

And they're wrong too...I am steadfast in saying that those who can't hear the diff have busted or not good hearing. I had a Cyber Power power conditioner with soine wave and my system sounded the most clear and sweetest it ever did using it

If you have noisy AC outlet that noise will travel through the amp and into the audio pathway, and that's when you can hear screaming whine from speakers.

@PS Audio: I use your Dectet Conditioner as the power source for all my components. Is it restricting my BHK 250 amp? Thanks for your feedback! 🙌

@@smiths7317 I would move house if it was that bad! Or a rewire
