Power conditioning is sometimes helpful but nothing beats a PS Audio power regenerator.
Reached this conclusion after more than 60 years of HiFi experience from my first Eico kit in 1958 to my two current systems. I have mostly lived in New York City and environs where electric service is mostly reliable but subject to so many potential disturbances. For years I used various power conditioners and was happy because I didn’t know better. About 10 years ago, I became aware of PS Audio’s power regenerators. The logic behind them was so clear, I had to try. Yes, the Stromtank or battery strikes me as theoretically best, But after that, my experience with power generation I will never go back to conditioners.
It’s just the music!!! Ask Michael Fremmer.

@adeep42 which Ps audio product do you use? You found it's performance in your system way better than a Shunyata product? I know they essentially do different things but I'm curious your thoughts. Better transient delivery? What was better vs the conditioners you've tried? |
Have you compared PS Audio's power re-generators to Audioquest's Niagara models, or to Shunyata Research's Everest models? By "compare", I mean, have you done so by ear?
I do not understand your reference to Michael Fremer. What have you, or someone else, asked him? |
I have a Shunyata Venom 16. Bottom of the line, I know. When I plugged it into the stereo I heard the difference. But I don't think it would have passed my rational $ to improved sound test. If I left the room for a half hour and came back, would I know if it was plugged in or not. I don't think so. Maybe a more expensive one would make a bigger difference? |
