関連用語との違い
IsoTek EVO3 Aquariusとの違い: EVO3 Aquarius(UK IsoTek Passive Filter + Polaris-X Filter + ¥220K Mid-Premium)はUK Passive Filter Mid-Premium、 P20(US PS Audio Active AC Regenerator + MultiWave + CleanWave + 2000VA + ¥1.5M Flagship)はUS Active AC Regenerator + Sine Wave再生成 + Reference Capacity。Passive Filter → EVO3 Aquarius、 Active Regenerator → P20。
よくある質問（FAQ）
Q1: Active Regenerator vs Passive Filter どちらを選ぶ？ A: Active Regenerator(AC完全Regeneration + Pure Sine Wave保証 + Audio Component Performance最大化 + Premium Tier)→ P20、 Passive Filter(Generic AC Filter + Cost Effective + Mass Market Premium)→ EVO3 Aquarius / Furman / Shunyata。
Q2: MultiWave Technology は本当に効果ある？ A: Mass Market Standard 50/60Hz Sine Wave対比 PS Audio独自Optimized Wave Form Generation + Audio Component Power Supply Capacitor Charge最適化 + Audiophile Component Performance最大化価値Proposition + PS Audio独自Engineering Heritage。
Q3: 2000VA Capacity は本当に必要？ A: Reference Power Amp(High Power Class A/AB)+ Multi-component Audiophile System(Streamer + DAC + Pre-amp + Power Amp等)Drive重視User限定で価値発揮、 Mass Market Audiophile System(Integrated Amp + Streamer等)→ P12/P15等下位推奨。
