Post Subject: APC regeneratorPosted by gravetones on: 10/21/2009

Hi Romy,

I just talked to someone who has tried the APC 2 KVA regenerator and apparently used it with a plinius SA102 power amp . it apparently is excellent and also able to take the load of the amp. Not sure on how better it is vis-a-vis a Purepower but the output seems to be much better than the mains and with no loss in Dynamics. the only issue is the sound that the regeneration makes which is quite audible... His solution was to put it outside and then extend a connection into the audio room.

From the specs the APC and the purepower seem to have similiar dimensions and weight but the APC only has an LED display although both seem to have the same output tolerances of output voltage and frequency. But yes it would be interesting to know what kind of benefits a Purepower brings over it since they have made it "Audiophile" grade it should have something more for the 3X price tag for the same power.

As you have rghtly pointed out not too much literature available to say what wasdifferent Sad
