Equi=Tech Balanced Power vs. ?

Having finished my equipment purchases (for the time being), I have decided now to explore enhancing the electrical power in my media room.

PS Audio recommends regeneration; Richard Gray Power Company recommends having power in reserve that is added when the draw exceeds available capacity. Equi=Tech has an altogether different approach: balanced power.

I am writing to ask whether anyone has had an experience with Equi=tech/balanced power. I do note that none of their units has appeared for sale on Audiogon in recent weeks, which may be a positive reference of a sort itself. Moreover, has anyone had the opportunity to contrast the alternatives cited above?

Thank you.

I've been curious and researching the very same topic. Besides Equi-Tech for the balanced power approach, check out the Furman IT series. It appears that they do the same thing for less dinero.

I was reading a magazine today (Nuts & Volts, Poptronic or ? I looked at several...) and they discuss different noise cancellation electrical schemes and pros/cons of each. They included balanced power and power regeneration.

The power regeneration scheme that they showed included a balanced power front-end stage, which indeed appears to be superior. Whether PS Audio or Richard Gray includes a balanced power front-end in their products, I don't know.

Good luck!
