Do I need a power transformer?


I will be getting a Keces balanced power transformer as a trade in from an audio upgrade transaction. I will be getting the new Keces 3600. It is their top of the line balanced power transformer. I’ve been told that unless I have obvious noise in my system that I probably don’t need it and that I would probably have better sound without it. As I am getting it regardless I suppose I can try it with the Keces and without but what is the common rule of thumb regarding power transformers. I am currently using a Hydra 6 for everything except my amp where I am using a Hydra2. I don’t perceive  noise. Will I get benefits with the new Keces balanced power transformer?

Recently the new Supernova power cord transformed my system. Before that Townshend Podiums transformed my Moab speakers. This all began several years ago when the Herron phono stage transformed my front end. Therefore, based on my experience, the more transformers, the better.
