Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter

Ouch...Furman voltage regulator had too much current drop. Dang thing couldn't provide a steady 5 amp to the load side and it boasted a 12-15 amp load, live and learn.

It looked to be 'B' stock to boot, several scratches and a big blemish on the faceplate. Maybe it was the seller and not the Furman made in China. Think I'll shy away from both though :)

If you want a good power conditioner, the very best made anywhere was made by Elgar. It is not an audio product, it is commercial/industrial. But it is high power, and can deliver a perfect sine wave at full power (28 amps). It is mechanically noisy, so it has to be installed at your breaker box and then the audio room AC power is then connected to it.

It uses a large isolation transformer, a low distortion sine wave oscillator that is synchronized with the AC line, and a feedback amplifier that is connected to a feedback winding on the transformer.

This is an expensive approach but it works, and other power conditioners are so much junk by comparison. Unfortunately you have to find them used as Elgar does not seem to make them anymore. Some are fairly old (over 20 years) and may have to be rebuilt, but if you want truly clean AC power this is the best way to do it.

I use a Bybee Holographic and a friend of mine, with a more simple system, (1 source, 1 Air Tight ATM1 and a pair of speakers) is very happy with hie PS 500 Accuphase.

JALLEN, we are still anxiously awaiting your promised review of the VH Audio "PLASMATRON"..........

I'm surprised no more people talk about the Bybee Purifier or the Holographic. I have had for some times the first LessLoss Firewall and the Acoustic Revive RTP Ultimate. Both of them were great for my whole system including tubes mono power amps, but the Bybee is in another class.
I don't know why Bybee seems so controversial but if there is a place where they work it really is on power.
