why balanced power last before component?

Thanks Ngjockey. I don't follow. Could you explain?
Thanks Lacee. My thinking has been like yours. Thanks for confirming it works ok the the Hydra 2 & 8. Very reassuring to know.
Thanks to all. By the way, has anyone used on older MIT Z Stabilizer 2 with any newer units?

I have also been curious about daisy chaining power conditioners. For example would I get any benefit from putting an Audience 1 or 2 socket power conditoner before my Equitech 2Q balanced power conditioner?

I used to run a Burmester 948 conditioner. Then moved to a 4kVA balanced transformer, improvements across the board. But on putting the Burmester back in the chain after the transformer was an unmitigated disaster.
So, if choose to go down the balanced route, pass on the conditioner. I've now installed an Entreq Silver Tellus passive grounding device which has enhanced the quietness of my balanced powered system.

Roscoeiii.
I think you will. Balanced transformers are effective for common mode, choose your 1st one for ability to reduce diffential noise.

Thanks. You're using big guns; your feedback is very valuable.
Where is the 948 now?

Ptss, you have it right. In my DIY balanced power supply, I put a big EMI/RFI block filter with good differential noise reduction figure ahead of the transformers.
