There is a lot of info on the web. Do a seach for "balanced power" on Yahoo or any other search engine. The most popular brands are Equi=Tech, Furman and Cinepro. Most of the regenerators (PS Audio power plants etc...) also have a balanced outputs. One odd note.....the National Electrical Code requires balanced power to have ground fault protection, due to both lines having potential to ground. Some conditioners have it, some don't.(?)
How to fight dirty power - I need your help
My system is AMC CD8B-Zucable Oxyfuel-CREEK-OHM12-Zucable Disco-Odyssey Stratos-Groneberg Quattro Reference-Migrage OM-10. My amp is directly plugged into a FIM outlet in the wall. The other component went through a Monster HTS2000. The voltage in my house is relatively high, usually in the range of 126-130V. The sound from my system is sometimes very good, but sometimes, especially in the evening, is tasteless. I believe the main reason is dirty power and high voltage. I’m trying to figure out an inexpensive way to fight the power problems. I don’t want to spend $1000-2000 to buy a power regulator. I’m thinking variac, but heard different opinions. I guess the result to some degree is system dependent. Now I need to figure out what is the key component that lowered sound quality when voltage is high or the power supply is dirty-CD player? Amp? What is the best way to solve the problem?
