I read this and maybe some others will find it interesting, too.

I dislike ASR as a rule of thumb. They appear to me to be a lifeless, soulless bunch who think measurements are the one ring to rule them all while ridiculing folk who use their ears as their measuring instruments. It took a long time for my wife to realise how much of an emotional decision it is to change core components but she got there!

With all my fluffing about regens and UPS' I suspect I won't go that route. There is a general consensus that power amps should be connected to wall sockets only and I already have my CD & TT hooked up to active mains filters and DC blockers. My amp is connected to a DC blocker that can handle 32amp so I have DC noise blocking at a hefty amount of protection too.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. My Santas sack be plentiful

  In the form of modified Liebert battery double-conversion. But IME, each house, even each room can respond differently to power conditioners and regenerators. In one on my rooms, sound is great without needing such things for example. Just have to find that right brew..

That is a very interesting report from someone who knows what he is doing. I can only wonder whether the quality of his wall AC is perhaps superior to that which some of us receive. I use a P15, a later generation regenerator from PS Audio and perhaps superior to the P12 (it's about twice as large and twice as heavy as the P12), in my basement system, only because that system is on the same AC line as our furnace(s) and AC compressor(s). I don't claim the P15 is a revelation, but I do think it offers a reliable consistent sound, so that it does not matter whether I listen day or night, hot weather or cold. Results are always consistent and SQ is predictable unless I make a change downstream. That was not the case before I purchased the P15. I'd like to see his testing repeated with the P15 oe P20. Also, after reading the comments on that website, it seems he is preaching to the reverse snobs; "if it costs a lot it must be for suckers", seems to be the philosophy. In my upstairs system, i have dedicated AC lines and no power regenerator.
