This type of "re-constructor" appeals to the side of me that still wants the "perfect sine wave", which most of the "manufacturers" still insist is [the key to] their units' "success". That the unit in question does it with a "conventional" A/B amp should mean less toxic blow-back than switching systems, given that the sine wave generator is also (somehow) some sort of innocuous "analog" counter. HOWEVER, I cannot dismiss my strong suspicions that the actual "success" of the PP units depends at least as much on "smoothing effects", perhaps from the very toxic switching that the subject unit ostensibly "does without".
It is "interesting" that the subject unit and its ilk's A/B amps do not function like the older (HEAVY) PS units. The former (subject) use their A/B amps only to "correct" the line AC, whereas the latter (older PS) have been notoriously current limited in practice because they actually use their A/B amps to generate the "fresh AC".
Meanwhile, my own ante has been upped considerably, now that I'm using 3 amps said to be "capable" of 150A drive each (AC willing and ready...). Nice load for the typical "regenerator"...
