BPT 3.5 with MF TriVista 300 Integrated

I am thinking of getting a Balanced Power Technologies 3.5 to go with my TriVista Int. amp. I already have dedicated 20 amp lines. Since the MF power units are in a separate box and the TriVista is choke regulated, will I hear a noticeable difference?

In my experience, amps do not like being plugged into AC Conditioners.
I own the BP-3.5 and I laos have dedicated lines. I plug my amps into
two of the dedicated lines and the BP-3.5 into another -- then everything except the amps goes into the BP-3.5. Sounds great!

I guess you missed the point. I own a BP-3.5 and I have several amps
around my house -- none of them like being plugged into the BP-3.5.

So, it doesn't matter what the manufacturer says -- in the real world,
I have found that the BP-3.5 is similar to other AC Conditioners -- amps
don't seem to like being plugged into it.

Amps I have tried: Levinson 436, Krell FPB 350 MCX, Proceed HPA3,
and Anthem MCA50.

In fact, my sub-woofer, which also has an amplifier, doesn't like being
plugged into the BP-3.5, either.
