Mr. Poon,
Received the regenerator last night and have had a chance to listen to the system for a bit. I have had some restful time to listen to the impact of the regenerator.
Contrary to what you indicated, the effect is very transforming to say the least. Apparently the power in our residential area is contaminated enough that cleaner power to the front end audio components has much impact. I was able to find an excellent small square converter from two to four AC outlets, so that the NM-24 and DIP Combo, my PS Audio Lambda transport and my EAR 834P phono-only preamp can attach directly to the regenerator without another cable and outlet strip.
With all services working, the fan does come on, but the unit does not appear to overheat and cut off.
I set the unit to 120 cycles and 117volts as recommended. It resets to 60 cycles when power is shut off and the unit is restarted. (Better than the 50cycles stated in your instructions.)
The improvement in resolution, depth of image, and elimination of low level noise is very substantial, both on digital and via the EAR 834P phono stage. Much of the high frequency excesses I have heard in my system for years has been reduced or eliminated. Not sure about the very low bass however, might even be slightly less than before, but overall, much better balanced and a true delight to listen to for hours. You have another winner on your hands for sure.
Your equipment is the best value I have ever seen in the audio field. Your firm is a treasure to the audiophiles with limited budget who appreciate the finest sound.
Thank you.

Very much appreciate working with you and your outstanding equipment. Based upon the success of the regenerator on the digital equipment, please let me know if you develop a solution for cleaning up the AC to the mono-block amps.
Stands to reason that a proper cleanup device or regenerator would improve the sound some more, if such a device did not limit the high current peak demand. The later has always been a problem with such devices on amps. Your amps, having wide bandwidth must be susceptible to this kind of stuff and maybe there is some more improvement in overall quality to be gained by a proper solution. Right now I am using a Power Wedge to filter the amps, but not regenerate AC. I think things improved overall when I moved all the digital components from the Power Wedge to your regenerator. Always looking for the last squeeze of the grapes as they say.
One of my colleagues said my system is so analytical he “could hear a flea pass wind in the orchestra”. We are having him psychoanalyzed.
Thanks again and warmest regards,
Joel B.
