I am tentatively considering selling my PS Audio P5 mains regenerator. I've owned it since new, for around 3 years, and earlier this year it was fitted with a new regenerator board by Signature Systems (the UK PS Audio distributor).
For anyone with 'difficult' mains, eg with high incoming voltage or distorted, clipped mains, a regenerator is the only true solution. PS Audio's devices don't use big, inefficient sinewave generators and power amplifiers, but track and correct distortion on the mains (I think I've got that right). This means it has a healthy 1.2kW power capacity, with minimal costs in terms of power consumption. It really does work, as many users of the P5 and the bigger P10 here will testify. You can run a biggish power amp off the P5 without it falling over.
It has four UK mains sockets at the back (one is designated High Current for power amps etc). A small remote control makes operation easy, and the menus are configurable for delayed start, timed operation etc. For full details, have a read of the description and specs at http://www.psaudio.com/products/p5-power-plant/
It comes with original double shipping boxes.
Price new for one of these is £3k - this P5 needs to be in the region of £1650
