For the last 2 days a spent a lot of effort to learn about the power regeneration by frequency converters. That is very fascinating subject, though I have no idea to what kind sonic result it might lead. It is very much possible that my new place will have good electricity to begin with or the PP2000 will be perfectly enough.  Still an each to have my own high current true synchronous alternator that would have no HF noise or any kind and completely immune from power grid is too sweat to avoid trying it. To me the most important even not the concept of generation itself but an option to have no thousands transformers and hundred regulators between the power source and my amplifiers. My motor-generator set came with own regulator but I would like to bypass it and I would drive it directly from alternator, regulating the output voltage by manually exiting the filed coil of the stator. (Considering the my playback run in class A)

The set that I got is truly interesting.  It has 6HP Allis synchronous motor made in Alabama:

It also has a true pride – Minnesota-made, Kato, 12 wire, synchronous, 6.5KWA alternator:

I spend some time with this application engenders and it shell be very interesting to try those things. Kato do not do those tiny alternators anymore and they did not believe that I found one.  When I said 6.5KWA then they insisted that it was 6.5 megawatts. They reportedly do the best generators in the country; we will see how it goes.

I will need to devise a way to try and see how it sound without permanently installs it as it will be costly. The bigger thing will be to move that 950 pounds monster in the basement of on the yard… Perhaps I need to do it with a hydrogen air balloon…
