Sean has some very valid points about Isolation transformers. due to the fact that your Digital gear produces the most noise in your system it's crucial that they be isolated from your Analog gear. Ensemble of Switzerland has been building special isolation transformers specifically for this purpose for over 10 years now, and have perfected their use for Digital audio in their latest designs. keep you Amp plugged directly to the wall where it can draw all the current it needs. once your digital gear is cleaned up and unable to contaminate your Analog then you won't have to worry about filtering your amplifier. also we have tried ballanced power devices such as the Equi-tech and found them to do more harm than good. ballanced power devices can also be dangerous and if i'm not mistaken will soon be banned for sale in the US.
using a transformer to separate your gear power
I have been curious about the power conditioner component. Being a newbie, I'm skeptical. A local dealer said that an effective component within the better power conditioner is a transformer that keeps the voltage the same. The idea of the transformer making its own power (electron path) makes sense. Is this the heart of the pc's benefit. As we all know, they come with lots of neat dials/lights/face plates/macho gizmos....Could a person just locate a transformer of this sort and make a 'clean power' box?
