I’m a big believer in isolation transformers. Really clean up the sound. I use a large 20amp Equi=Tech balanced isolation transformer unit for my preamp, etc. I would still plug my mono-block tube amps directly into the wall until I found a couple of 8 amp isolation transformers to plug each in to which has worked very nicely. Just sound cleaner. I also have a couple of smaller (5amp) isolation transformers that I plug all the little wall warts, etc into the power the network switch, light, turntable, etc. This keeps digital crap from getting back into the line.
Makes for a very quiet system.
Clipping with Separates with change of Power Conditioner[?]
I have two Furman Power Conditioners. The one connected to my power amp went out recently. Nothing I can do allows it to work. I replaced with a W-Audio AC Power Filter Power Conditioner - Power Purifier with Surge Protector. I initially hooked up the items for the Furman to the Filtered Plugs on the W-Audio. In playing songs that get to higher volume, the items driven through the Power Amp would go dark while the subs continued to play the tunes.
My Power Amp is Class D [NAD c268 being run at stereo = 80 WPC]. My Pre-Amp is a Naim NAC 272.
Is my assumption correct that this is a power amp issue or compatibility issue between the Power Amp and the new W-Audio Power Filter Conditioner?
