I received the chinese balanced power transformer, thanks again for your comparison Ozzy (check's in the mail). I used the power cord from my arcam preamp to hook it up to the wall (it came without a cord). I've plugged in a Mark Levinson 331 (100W/ch @ 8ohm) i intend to sell at some point for a friend, my 55" samsung SUHD tv (~57W), and the RME ADI-2 Pro (~20W?, DAC/digital preamp for computer audio and tv). First thing: the Levinson is noisy. I've been using it for about 6 months, enjoying the power of it but hesitant about what to do in a resale situation. I was not sure if it was due to repairs needed or power issues at the house... Plugged into the C-BPT, listening to youtube music through the tv->RME-ADI-2 Pro->Levinson. The Levinson is now QUIET... TV display appears to show a 'blacker background'. this might only have a few hours of break-in from Ozzy and may benefit from continued break-in, its already great purchase, and confirms how much noise I have coming in probably due to bad wiring in the house/cell towers/smart meters on the house/wifi RF... its a worthwhile purchase. I'll plug the class A 5W guitar amp soon to see if it gets rid of the radio stations being picked up and/or cuts down on background noise. I have a Furutech power strip that I will eventually plug into the C-BPT, then run Levinson/TV/RME-ADI-2 Pro to see if theres an improvement. Eventually I'd like to DIY upgrade the unit based on everyones recommendations, when I get time (next summer). Thanks again for recommending this unit, for less than $200, its an easy purchase in my book.
