Speaking of science or fiction ...
Does anyone have experience to share about plugging an "audiophile grade passive components power conditioner" (such as a Shunyata Hydra or Running Springs conditioner) into a PurePower or other branded re-generator? TIA

I've spent a bit of time trying what you purpose and my findings was worse than my least favorite conditioner.....

I agree, not recommended.

Early last year I decided to visit the power conditioner part of my system again.....I think I've had more conditioners through my system than any other component in the past few years.....I must of had 10 or so conditioners on hand, power plant, equatech, RSA, purepower, Hydra, Furutech, iso clean and a few others but can't remember....I was at the point of finding something that didn't muck things up, not so much to piggy back them but I did try a few like power plant into my equatech, that was bad made the power plant buz and rattle, scared the crap out me!! also tried the RSA into the pure power, no buz but terrible loss of dynamics.....put the hydra on the purepower and only could hear the sonic flavor of the purepower. The most colored and artificial sound was from the Hydra by it self, everything sounds like its play in a gym!! I find there power cords sort of do the same thing.....I spent about a year with the equatech and it was good for sorces only, made my amps hum though.....The power plants covered up the dynamics big time with amps but not bad with sources, if you own one try unplugging from the wall and go direct you will hear what I'm saying.....Iso clean was a big waste of money, sounded like I was plugged directly into the wall......the Furutech was the same thing, didn't do much.....My favorites are the RSA and purepower.....lower noise floor, more dynamics with out sounding like someone turned up the tone controls, no tonal balance changing. This is no fan boy plug but just the facts for me. Good luck and happy listening!

If you have clean stable power don't waiste your money on a power conditioner. A regenerator's purpose is to maintain your line voltage at aprox. 120vac, once again if you have good power save your money. I feel it isnot a good idea to use these devices in tandem due to nasty interactions caused by AC reactance and it's effect on the AC line's power factor.
