@chowkwanI agree on most points. The Nagra is nice, but I prefer others with similar tech.The new Marantz SA-KI Ruby is going to be the best bang for the buck. 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@hifipassion I heard one of the Keces at a show, and it sounded similar to any balanced power conditioner. I haven’t heard it compared to a CPT.One YouTube user has multiple videos with Keces gear. Here are some with the BP1200:https://youtu.be/hM... 
AC Regenerator
If you want to be battery powered, and truly off the grid, Stromtank is another option for a regenerator, if you have deep pockets.I feel regenerators make theoretical sense, but in actual practice, are flawed. Firstly, the DC to AC conversion ind...
