Questioning a/c isolation for digital.?

Hi Jult52. Both.
Isolating digital from analog.
Conditioning power to digital.
In my experience both yield great benefits.

Audioengnr. Steve. Thanks for input.

Elizabeth. Where/how is your 2496 connected?
May I ask what you use it for?

Elizabeth - 99.9% of power conditioners are not isolation transformers. Only an isolation transformer can separate the ground connections and eliminate ground-loops. Even this is not optimum. Better to have isolation at each component.

Conditioners are great at preventing noise from switching supplies from getting back into the power line or preventing damage from lightning strikes, but that is about it. I don't like them for the most part. Never use them.

I must use PC. Otherwise I have to unplug all of my equipment when I leave my dwelling every time. I've almost lost my amp from the surge connected directly to the wall.
