Using a shore power isolation transformer at home?


Can a shore 1:1 power isolation transformer, rated 120V/60Hz and sufficiently powerful, be used in order to make a (dedicated) AC line at home cleaner (reducing neighbor's noises)?

Is there anything special I shall take into account (as opposed to installing a "home-oriented" isolation transformer)?

If I do not want the output to be balanced (would be pointless or even harmful, as I have a servo-operated variac between the receptacle and my tube amp), what is the recommended way to earth the isolation transformer?

Thanks!

Thanks, that was very detailed!

I am planning to install a dedicated line, and I am comparing the possibilities. Right now I have two main issues with power:
(1) sometimes the power transformer of my amp hums much louder than it should, and some "fraction" of this noise even penetrates into the speakers;
(2) the AC voltage can be anything from 118 to 124.

The former I hope to cure with a dedicated line (probably w/o any isolated transformer to start with).

The latter (which probably does not affect the sounding too much, but drives me crazy when I want to set the optimal regime for the tubes in my amp) I plan to cure with Monster's AVS 2000 variac+servo (I am almost ashamed to use anything from those bastards, but it looks like these servo-stabilizers are their only product that does what it says and is priced adequately, if buying used).

To have a layer of protection just in case AVS 2000 goes crazy, I plan to put PS Audio's Duet between it and my tube amp.

Does this all make any sense?
Voltage is unstable, and I want 120V sharp. Isn't a servo stabilizer the way to do that in a non-limiting, neutral fashion?
Just looked at this diagram from Monsters of their AVS 2000.

Probably, I will through away all pre-transformer filters, to make it even less intrusive.
