Running supply voltage of 60/60 - Vs - 120/Neutral

With the power system im running now, it supplys power at 60 volts and 60 volts each leg, Versus the nominal 120 volt and neautral, im curious as to what the benifits and problems that this may cause for audio equipment, with running no neutral, i get this off of the isolation transformer, as part af a large power system with battery backup to insure than nothing frys in the event of surges and electrical storms, could this possibly cause a better "balance" and maybee increas audio quality? it's definatly a safer system as you would not get shocked unless you touched both legs at the same time.

Im in independence, Missouri, about 30 miles east of KC.

I had never thought to gound the #5 terminal,but maybee the #0 or the 0Volt tap,i figured it would short the primary, but i will fuse it low and try it, then that would eliminate the 60/60. but i do run the power after the transformer through the EMI/RFI filter, before it hits the outlet.

And this is just for the sub, i still have one other dual coil transformer im using for the rest of the equipment, but the output on both seam to be a little high, around 126 at low to no load, im not sure what the tube stuff likes best, im sure the sub wont mind.
I have a currently unused variac installed and "was" using it to drop output to around 115, for the amp,tv,xbox etc.

60/60 otherwords 60 volts to ground on each leg, but 120 between both legs, as in no neutral, just 60/60 and common ground.

Yes, verry good, the house was built in 1956, but i dont believe it mahogany?

Thanks's for the help, were getting closer to a resolution
