Also I wish I had dedicated lines. Depending on your grid source you might be in great shape without a regenerator on the amps. On a different note to do you have the ability to get a good ground on the box.

Not at all!
I like the aesthetic of the product and its simplicity. Same price as a p3 regenerator. I like that I canāt over load it. It also has a grounding scheme where it looks like I can run a wire out to the yard underground. Thatās super cool.
No reviews of it anywhere. Iām going for it. Iāll demo it, and if it doesnāt blow me away/beat the 25 year old
monster strip, it goes back. 60 day trial at TMR.
There is few reviews of the Rega Osiris as well. I took a risk and it paid off.
Some brands are over reviewed. You could ask, is it a bad sign that a product isnāt reviewed? Maybe it is. But maybe itās a bad sign when thereās 700 reviews of a product?
The vibe of the product is important. The Darko audio Cardas video was excellent. Cardas seem like nice people.
Recently I had an experience plugging my M1200 directly into the wall instead of P15. My incoming THD is usually between 1.5% to 2.1%. When M1200 are plugged into P15 I never used more than 200W.
After one day I plugged them back into P15 and kept it that way. The sound is more layback and smoother to my taste. But if you like rock music or play at loud level you may enjoy them at wall. I felt the dynamic was stronger a bit.

The only review that matters is my review.
Not to me.

No, actually I never did. I used it at the time for my hybrid stereo amp, so only one outlet was needed. The amp sounded significantly better through the Audience than into the wall, and the Audience was way better than other passive conditioners Iād tried (including a BPT). Quieter, smoother, just more musical. When I got into regenerator use it was always for my source gear, which was (and still is) far away from my speakers. When I went to the Pass monoblocks I retired the Audience, but Iāll likely never sell it. As far as I know there is no other like it.

Iāve never been able to appreciate differences Iām sound from plugging my REL 510ās into wall vs my P15
I end up going with p15 due to need for outlets and surge protector etc

Thank you all for your thoughts, my focus is on M1200s (Class D) sound differences from plugging them to the wall or to a regenerator. And in that particular case (not in general) which kind of benefit a P3 might provide to those M1200s vs a P15 if anyone ever tested.
I plugged my RELs T7/i in the past to the wall, to 2 P12s and now to a P20 without audible differences but I went for regenerator because I had/have not yet more than one dedicated line, so just one wall socket to share. So my aim was/is to prevent hum and noise pollution coming from subs to the rest of my system. And surge protection.
A different scenario will be after my new project room will be realized on March, having at the time 5 dedicated lines (3 on the front wall + 2 on the side wall) each one with its own independent wires (ground included) and circuit breakers, in one new dedicated panel from the street totally separated from the rest of the house other than for a ground rod necessarily in common (but with a dedicated ground wire from new panel to the closest point to the external rod - that is a sort of internal ārod/hubā or conjunction point into the last wall of the house before the external rod in the garden that my electrician unfortunately assured to me is hard to find with accuracy where is exactly located). Sockets will be Furutech NCF rhodium plated.

I did the multiple dedicated lines myself. But after getting a P20 only use one. Now I question why I went that route since I upgraded amps capable of 1200 WPC into 8 ohms and still P20 runs the while syste for everything fine and only explosion heavy Home Theater has it ever tripped. Unless you have long range get some class A Amps capable of 1000 Watts plus int 2 ohms. I would save the electrician and wire money. I ran my 5 lines thinking maybe MC2KW amps some day. It wasnāt fun routing 5, stiff 10 gauge wires. I should have done 2 dedicated and planned on regeneration.

Thank you Vmax, due to short run from new panel to my room, 3 or 5 five lines are not a big difference and I prefer oversizing now than facing new needs in future. Hoping to do a job that I never will have the opportunity to modify/refurbish during next years.
