Decided to get another LPSU this time for the Router as I listen to internet streaming audio from various sources and it only has the noisy wall wart! So lets clean that right up with a nice "Zero-Zone 100VA 12V @6A Ultra Low Noise L163-39".

I found the AG-500 regenerator made a significant improvement at our last house (detail and imaging, in particular), but actually made things a bit worse at the current home (loss of dynamics) ... so, I'd always recommend a trial before purchasing. Ideally, I suppose it'd be interesting to monitor the mains with an oscilloscope through the day to see what was actually going on, but one real benefit I found with the regenerator was it giving a constant 230 volts, which stopped a little SET amp I had from cooking on the 252 volts mains at the last house.

nice to know! My amp also runs a little cooler too. The circuits 'here' as pretty good/well behaved as the rented house is only about 25 years old, so the mains is fairly modern and up to date, hardly any glitchesOriginally Posted by petrat

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Yes, although non of it was at MSRP (£XXX) i.e. used/b grade/ex demo etc. So, cost about 50% of RRP.
