Ptss,
I have been experimenting with power conditioners, isolation transformers and power regenerators for years to find the best possible solution to this systemic problem that we all face. I found Synergistic Research Powercell MK II and Bybee Stealth did not get the sound to where it belonged with the high quality components I have. They did not do them justice. So, by trial and error, I found a better solution.
There is only one better solution than the above configuration that I have found:
isolation transformer > power regenerator > my own DIY power conditioner > DAC/transport
Amp and preamp and subwoofer must be on a separate circuit. Otherwise the SQ seriously degrades.
I use an inexpensive medical grade isolation transformer.
