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.
Ptss - you are better off to get some kind of isolation or volume-control transformer.
Some large AC power transformers are available, but they only solve the problem of isolating house ground from audio system ground, they don't solve the problem of audio system ground-loops.
Steve I appreciate your input, don't get me wrong, but the thread is about isolation from AC. I think your topic deserves it own thread for simplicity. I'm also not talking about isolation or conditioning to eliminate gross hum, which is as you previously explained-but which basically shouldn't happen with decent equipment, grounding and i/c's & connections.
