I believe that a "Regulated Power Supply", is approved by the FDIC, CIA, FBI, HUD and several other agencies. What they do is add several layers of additional government agency intervention in ways that have no impact on quality of life...but huge impact on the cost of living.
Regulated Power Supply- what does it do/mean?
I have pretty good quality components, amp, preamp, cd player. I also have a PS audio PowerPlant P-300, which regenerates the AC to make it a perfect 117 volt p-p sinewave no matter what the voltage fluctuation is from the wall.
On further thinking, my question is why do I need power regeneration if my preamp, amp and CD player have fully regulated power supplies (don't reply with other features of the P-300 such as multiwave or filtering)? Shouldn't a fully regulated power supply give you say exactly 20 volts DC even if the line voltage fluctuates? Isn't this the purpose of a "fully regulated" power supply or am I wrong? What is a "fully regulated" power supply?
