Woah! Now I am confused. The PS Audio products are mains regenerators, whilst almost everything else mentioned on this thread are mains conditioners. As I will soon be moving to North Cyprus, I have started to investigate the P3 from PS Audio, but PS Audio does not seem to be well received here, and I wonder why?
Having come from Naim for many, many years, mains conditioners are a big no-no. Naim want you to buy their PSU upgrades which, of course, do their own filtering by system design, all one needs to do with Naim is provide separate mains spurs and everything is optimised (as far as Naim is concerned).
To me, the PS Audio products seem ideal if you are located in a country that has fluctuating mains and regular power cuts. Why should they affect the dynamics other than if they are unable to give out fast high power when called upon by the amp for peak transients? Especially at 'normal' listening levels? Regenerating mains has to be better than filtering / conditioning surely? The PS Audio team clearly state that their products are not mains conditioners. They make an analogy about filtered water and purified water, tallied to mains conditioners and mains regenerators respectively.
Maybe it's me, after many years of Naim I have an 'instinctive' aversion to mains conditioning, but regenerating dodgy incoming electricity has, on paper, many merits.
