power conditioner

Balanced power is nice if you can pull it off without introducing other problems. It is useful for lowering susceptibility to noise on the line. Often it is done by using an isolation transformer of some sort. If this is the case, the transformer should not be operated past 50% of its continuous rated power (else distortion will be a problem and that will overshadow any advantage brought by balancing the power).

Thank you, @atmasphere

I’ll keep your reply handy if you don’t mind. Of late where ever I might happen to post on this forum invariably someone throws out the notion of balanced power (and proposes a $2500+ device that purported delivers it) as though its a cure all for things audio plus the common cold.

Its a fact that clean power helps the system sound better. But for that kind of money, I'd put it on a used Elgar and get it refurbished- the money will be better spent.

Purchase one of these transformers. Main circuit box to the transformer to subpanel which will power all your audio outlets.

Perhaps this will help the conversation.....

BTW, I paid $950.00 for my balanced power conditioner right here on the 'gon.

Start with buying 1 PS Audio Noise Harvester ( $75 form Music Direct
or 2 for $100 )  , if the light blinks anytime other than when your 
heating/air conditioning is running then consider a power conditioner,
if it doesn't blink then you have fairly clean power , seeing will help you decide before you go out and spend a bunch of $.
A dedicated line is only good if you have a high current drawing amp ,
noise from anywhere in the house will still be on your dedicated line.
