Right, balanced power is marketing BS.
But, according to this Stereophile review https://www.stereophile.com/powerlineaccessories/108torus/index.html
the RM20 consists of a toroidal transformer and surge suppressor. That's it. No battery. No caps. Just a transformer. Transformers can deliver less current at a higher voltage, or more current at a lower voltage, but never both. That's just basic EE.
Surely by now everyone has heard the power cord that improves bass. Does the power cord add voltage? Current? Or is it something else? And if its something else (which, trust me, it is) then why would it be any different for a conditioner? Which by the way has a power cord. Just what the mystery is here eludes me.
The one thing these all have in common by the way is they deliver a cleaner signal. Whether the signal is the fluctuating AC amplitude of music (in the case of interconnects and speaker cables) or the fluctuating AC of current (conditioners, power cords, fuses), the better stuff always delivers it cleaner. Which we experience as fuller more articulate and extended sound. Isn't that what such an expensive conditioner is expected to do? So why would we be surprised when it actually does?
