This note is general - not aimed at you, FRITHED.
Do not dismiss them or their efforts. They are not recent arrivals to the audio world. And the part of the audio world they inhabit is not one of crass commercialism.
The principals are not in business to make gadgets; they are the real thing.
Their future plans will bring some big surprises.
The LED was changed because they found the amber one sounded better - not surprising. Along with the resistor addition from what they learned from using the CORNING cable - all of this is detailed at their site. Makes an interesting story, worth reading since it illustrates one of audio obsessions truest phenomenons: the unexpected explanation for why something sounded better being completely different than what one had assumed. Changes have been made based upon discovery from listening to the thing. The fellows threw away two hundred or so bare PCBs after finding the improvements gained. Not the action of a fast buck operation; not planned obsolescence!
I think they are on to something. I ordered one for August delivery.
I am skeptical of the supply supplied. There is something coming that will go between the switcher and the REGEN that the makers claim will relieve all switcher anxiety. Of course, I will have to hear that for myself. In the interim I will be using something else.
This device represents a small step on the way to something really important.
Follow Ups:
I have the original Regen and am eagerly awaiting the upgraded Amber version. It took me all of 5 minutes with the Regen in my system to discern a very nice improvement and at a very reasonable cost.
I just literally chuckle at all the experts that haven't heard the product but just know they can/could improve on it and/or those that belittle the possibility that it makes a significant difference. I have a high end system and have had products from respected manufacturers, including those posting in this thread. Like it or not Alex Crespi & John Swenson have produced a very effective reasonably priced product that works.
Amen!
Everything you have said is very true. The stupid remarks here reflect the character of the posters not that of Alex or John.
