Subject: AC Regenerator impressions

Hello Mr. Poon. We received the regenerator undamaged last Friday. I was gone over the weekend and have just been able to hook it up. So far I have it connected to my NM24 DAC only. Later I will also hook up the transport. I am very pleased and slightly surprised at what I am hearing so far.

I expected some increase in detail and a quieter background. I did not expect such a noticable improvement. The music sounds more dynamic and alive. Bass is much improved and so is the treble which I usually don't pay that much attention to. I am surprised as I already have a fair amount of power conditioning. I have dedicated power lines for the amps and digital, separate power conditioners, after market power cords. I was very happy with the sound of my system before and wondered how much it could be improved on. I've only listened to a few CD's so far. I'm afraid you have doomed me to revisit alot of my CD collection.

Thank You,
Kim Schroeder

CC,

I'm happy to recommend your products including the AC Regen unit. Simply put, the unit seemed to quiet background noise which although not immediately perceptible is perceptible by virtue of its insidious diminution of the purity of tone and timbre. The upper harmonics that ride like filigree on the fundamental tone are that much more clear, pure and present. To those for whom music is a passion, this salient difference, although not night/day, is important and enormously enjoyable. Additionally, I noticed that at the 120Hz frequency, music seemed to be fuller, richer, denser while losing no detail whatsoever. I've always been a sceptic re: the absurd hyperbolic claims crowding out rational thinking and truthful opining in the "high end." But your products defy the usual logic/rules. The AC Regen units are prime examples. I cannot tell you how much I respect your work and your commitment to value.

As ever,

Dear Dr. Poon,
Your regenerator arrived, and my initial impression is extremely favorable. After two hours of casual listening, I compared the cd version of several performances with the vinyl riginal.  The difference was very hard or impossible to discern.  This is a remarkable achievement.

Should I leave the device turned on all the time?  Can it be mounted on the equipment rack, or should it be isolated?  Should it be plugged into a separate outlet?
Congratulations to everyone who worked on this project.

Best regards,
Rich

There is not much I can say about the Monarchy Audio AC-Regenerator that hasn’t already been said in the Reviews or user comments. I will say that the Regenerator made a dramatic improvement when incorporated into my system. I have read several articles regarding inaudible noise that is in the AC power lines that can affect the overall sound quality. It wasn’t until I hooked up the AC-Regenerator, that I really understood what the writers were referring to. It was like a veil had been removed from the music, the bass was more revealing and the overall sound was clearer, livelier and seemed to have more punch than before.
These were not subtle changes but dramatic changes in the overall sound. I highly recommend this unit.

Some users complained about fan noise at the 400Hz setting, but I did not experience any fan noise at that setting. I have been a BIG fan of Monarchy’s product line and have purchased
the SE-250 amps, M-24 D/A converter, the Upsampler as well as speaker cables and interconnects. If you are looking for High End, superbly built, stereo components, at affordable prices you do not have to look any further than Monarchy Audio for your Hi Fidelity needs.

Thank-you Mr. Poon and the staff at Monarchy for another great product

Sincerely
Frank Giannone

Mr. Poon,
Having purchased your Nm24 and the Dip Upsampler and replacing my Parasound Transport with a Proceed CDD transport, I thought I was in Musical Heaven. Acting on your Recomendation to add the AC-Regenerator to this incredible duo has enhanced an already stunningly transparent presentation of detail,and an already stunningly delineated Soundstage. Both the NM24 and Dip Upsampler are connected to the AC-regenerator which is set at 120 Hz and it takes the efficacy of the NM24 and the Dip Upsampler to another "Level". In my humble opinion, the NM24, the Dip Upsampler ,and the AC-Regenerator represent a Front-End "Tour De Force". The sheer effortlessness of the musical message gives one a heightened sense of more "There There" and more "Real Real".

Anyone who has the NM24 and Dip Upsampler, the additional purchase of the AC-Regenerator is not an option but is "Sine Qua Non' if one wants to experience High-End Musical Reproduction at its "FINEST".

Thank you Mr. Poon.
Michael

Hi Chin,

thanks for the very fast shipping, great connectors much appreciated. Have connected the NM24 to the AC regenerator and I must say this has already made a change. For example Piano more believable timbre, great transients and lots of air. Wonderful product.

kind regards

Dear Mr. Poon,

I have received the P100 AC Regenerator today, in perfect condition.

The P100 has really enhanced the overall performance of my system. I have only hooked up my Marantz SA7 CD player with the P100. The sound stage is now wider, vocal is more focused and it revealed a lot more details which previously I have not noticed, the background noise has also further reduced.

Please advise if I could write you a feedback in the Audiogon, with regards to your product and service.

Regards,
STKhoo
