Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: It’s mad, mad, mad... electricity. in Audio Discussions  1917 Replies 
I guess I needed to say that, outright. Of course I do care about seamless power during line lapses, but not much. I mainly see the battery as a "treated", high-current DC reservoir/source for converting to laundered AC. And, like I have said many...

Of course, all the mfgs. claim their AC regenerators and correctors put out perfectly shaped, perfectly clean sine waves, and they also say that this is why their devices "work" (and never mind if they don't actually work...).  But people who use...
