I wanted to jump in and revive this thread as I have debated getting a P5 or P10.
I called Mcintosh to ask specifically if it is necessary to connect my MC402 to a power regenerator (necessitating a P10). Or if it is better to connect the MCAmps to the wall in light of their autoformers, which would make the P5 the obvious choice for front end components only.
I was surprised at Chuck Hinton from Mcintosh tell me that he didn't advise I use ANY power regeneration.
He said in his experience, they altered the sound in an unnatural way.
He also said they had a few units in for repair with blown fuses, due to being connected to power regenerators.
I was very surprised to hear this and was curious if any other folks with P5's or P10's and Mcintosh combos.
I am still interested in hearing what this could do in my system, but I'll admit I'm now a bit nervous after talking to Chuck at Mcintosh.
