Post Subject: The Regenerator X Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/7/2007

Last couple days, while the APS people are cooking a new version of their regenerator, friends of mine helped me to discover a new type regenerator. It does not use neither class AB nor class D amplifiers, still outputs brand new harmonically clean, perfect sine wave with over 90% efficiency.  I have my motivations at this point do not divulge the topology or make of the regenerator and would call it the Regenerator X.

I did not have a lot of time or intention to play with it but the 1.5kW Regenerator X had no problems to drive all my front end to and in all my power amplification, it has limitless current draw. The voltage and frequency are perfectly stabilized… the sinusoid, however, is screwed when it derived all my system.

Sonically, it is not too apocalyptic, but still it is very far where I would like it to be. It does slightly compressed dynamic, it does slightly soften bass, it remove noise, it injects some very minor strange dirt in the sound and it make music slightly less recognizable – I am not kidding!!! So, it is in away do sound apocalyptic and I would prefer to drive the system from the wall.  Still, as Russians say; with no fish a crab could be considered a fish, and perhaps I just lower my demand for all those power toys…

Anyhow, the Regenerator X does not sound even remotely close to what the damn APS did with my front end… and therefore it looks that it is time to pass on the Regenerator X…
