@amirm Amir suggested today that I create this thread so that tube amplifier designers on this web site can shed some light on this issue. I know nothing about it so it's being brought up here to get information about whether any of this makes sense vis a vis PS Audio Power Regenerators:
I know a guy who says that the voltage mains he has in Ohio changes several volts up and down depending upon the time of day and since he uses a tube amplifier, his bias voltage changes and he can hear the difference. With the PS Audio PowerPlant AC regenerator P20, he says it regulates his mains voltage more precisely and therefore stabilizes his tube amp bias and therefore the sound that he hears.
Does that make any sense ? He also told me his amp does not auto-regulate the voltage whereas, he said, some tube amps do and that the PS Audio P20 power regenerator regulates the voltage for his amp. I could not comment one way or the other nor was Amir able to comment any further since he doesn't have the schematic for the tube amp. His tube amp is a Convergent Audio Technology JL2 Signature Mk 2 Stereo Amplifier.
