PS Audio Regenerator versus Balanced Power/Isolation Transformer for Phono Stage?

Rumpole, I see you’re in Colorado. If this readout is correct, then it seems for part of the day your AC voltage is riding above the 126 VAC limit which is defined as maximum (+5%), and apart from that you seem to be otherwise running at 125 VAC, which is certainly at the upper limit of the acceptable range. Not sure if using a regenerator to provide a stable 120 VAC will help, but it’d be interesting to hear your results if you tried it. You might want to call your provider to see if they can check your incoming voltage and confirm that they see it exceeding 126V.

Hi Tony - Thanks, and the Whisker/Ting report also says that the "Acceptable Range: 108 to 132 Volts", although maybe this is not ideal for audio? I have solar panels and suspect that they might be causing the high voltage in the daytime.

@Rumpole That Quiescent is quite dear.

If you're looking for a perfect sine wave for digital, Isotek Genesis is the way to go for digital.

It's quiet and works wonders for digital.

You can't use it for amps though, like PS audio.

I only use it for a streamer or DAC.

The U.S. national standards specify an acceptable range of 120 VAC +/- 5%.
