What efficient and reliable power regenerator do you recommend?

[VicMax]

Hello.
What do you recommend as a power generator that is really effective and serious, and that is not too expensive?
Thank you.

Can you describe what problem you want to solve?

Power regenerators are very good at taking a big pile of money out of your pocket based on nonsense stories. The outlet in the wall is generally going to work just fine.

I have a 2.5kVA, 6.5HP, 4 stroke generator which does a fine job whenever we have a power cut.

Save your money for better speakers or just save it. All decent quality electronics can deal with mains power.

I have no problem. I just want the better finest sound possible.

Focus on stuff with moving parts, like speakers, headphones and your room. There isn't much low hanging fruit in electronics unless you are seriously underpowered.

Please read these reviews. They tell you everything you need to know:

Greenwave 2500i AC Filter Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Greenwave 2500i AC line filter. It was kindly purchased by a member and drop shipped to me. It costs US $35 each. Can't say it is the prettiest thing in the world but I guess you can plug it into AC where it is not seen. Using it with my power...

PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator)

This is a review and detailed measurements of the PS Audio PowerPlant 12 (P12) AC regenerator. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $5,499. PS Audio nails the industrial design of the unit. I really like the casework as well as the look of the various graphical meters as you see above...

The "conclusions" section is succinct: "The rest of the tests show why none of these power devices are capable of improving the output of our audio devices. They do nothing about noise generated by the power supply which is easily filtered in the audio device."

Its nice to not have any problems!

Seriously, what they are essentially all saying is that the entire industry behind power conditioning is in the business of selling unnecessary tech to people wanting to get to the next level. This includes but is not limited to IEC power cables, various filters, and power regenerators.

If you have already tried some of these products and "noticed" an improvement, it was simply power of suggestion. If you were to make a blind comparison you will not perceive any differences.

That said, as has been suggested by others, if you want to upgrade, the two areas that can most often be upgraded are loudspeakers and the room itself.

Power regenerators and big audio amplifiers with Switch Mode Power Supplies, don't always work together kindly.
Each tries to take control of the line voltage.
