Effective per-unit power conditioning/regeneration is a nice dream, and it does make some sense in limited practical terms. There would have to be a way to effectively isolate treated system components, however, since the switching power supplies are toxic to other devices operating anywhere near them, typically including anything that shares a power line with them. Bill Gaw has talked generally about using multiple PPs in his large, complicated system, which is at least an indication that it can be done. In any case, creating "stackable" treated components might be another matter. I would think amps would be the place to start, since their higher current requirements raise the size and the cost of effective regeneration considerably, especially when multiple amps are used in a system. A "hidden" benefit of the unit approach is that the regeneration could be specifically tailored to a particular amp's power requirements.
