R the new conditioners that regenerate the future?


Are these the power conditioners of the future? As I understand they create the ac swing from scratch, so that the outlets output does not make a difference, right?
I beleive ps audio has come up with these, there may be other companies as well. Anyone can comment on which power conditioners if not these will most likely provide benefits without drawbacks.
thanks

You can regenerate something that happened in the past that will change the future......
Regeneration has be around for sometime think Accuphase.
If I remember correctly ML actually regenerate power in their bigger power amps.

All PS Audio has done is to fix the problems their previous Power Plants had. There are other players out there (ExactPower, PurePower) and the jury is still out on whether regeneration (total or partial) is the best way forward. Shunyata still believes passive is best and surprise surprise PS Audio also has similar products working much like the lower end Hydras as well as products for balanced power. Do take note that regeneration has limits when it comes to big power amps.

In the end it all depends on what works best for your own system given your power problems or lack of.
In all seriousness, power regenerators are basically power amps that output an AC waveform at around 120 volts. I won't get into the sonics, but I will say that this is an extremely inefficient way of dealing with the problem, using a lot of power, which is dissipated as heat. IMHO, wasteful in the extreme. This is probably the least green solution to improving AC integrity.
I need to experiment with more power conditioning units, but so far my experiences have all been negative. Every unit that I have tried has reduced the dynamics and detail in my system noticeably.
Power regenerators work great, especially if you don’t have dedicated power lines. Don’t let anyone steer you clear from them. Give one a try and see how it sounds in your system. Most people waste power by leaving their equipment on all the time anyway. I don’t think there is anything green about audio components. Especially the class A variety... ;-)
