I am confused. why
step down transformer will degraded sound if my source power come from $6000 USD power conditioner?
do I still need noise blocking of a fully balanced unit?
Step down transformer (220V to 100/110V) or buy 220V version of Shindo preamp
@ayc868 A transformer theoretically reproduces in the output all the noise in the input. In practice, not quite but I don't recommend a transformer as a power conditioner. Hopefully your $6000 power conditioner is a rectifier/inverter and doesn't try to "filter" the noise out. Jerry |
