I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on power conditioners vs AC regenerators. I've been checking out panamax and PS audio power plant premier, they're both in my budget range (under $1k, the further the better). I've read about a users who have had issues with the panamax, only read good things about PS audio.
Is there a cheaper option out there?
I should also note that my main reason for getting one of these is more so to protect my equipment rather than improve sound. It seems that with a line conditioner or AC regenerator I can get a little of both since I do tend to have a bit of "dirty" power in my current dwelling, but my main concern is protection.
