Hooking up two Topaz Isolation trans. in series?

If I hook two topaz 1kva iso ultra transformers in series will I double the current capacity? I already have one 1kva topaz and am looking at another. Two of these at 16 amps would be enough for everything in my audio rack.
If I am correct then would I need to rewire the plugs in one transformer or just plug one into the other? Would it be series or parallel stock? Any help? I have a ground hum issue in my house. Its killing my music listening experience.
I have taken my tube amp and pre amp to a shop and conferred that there is no hum at that location.
Any help is appreciated. Rod

Thank you,
Chuck, thanks for telling me about the headroom issue. I will use the 1kva on the pre-amp instead of the amp. I will get a 2.5 kva for the amps.
Cford, I read on a post at audiogone were someone said they hooked two of these in series. I too was wondering about how the current would be increases by this as only so much current could go through the first topaz. But there is smarter people than I in the room when it comes to electronics. So I asked.
Also there are several pieces of gear that hum when not interconnected. It is a power problem in the house. I will get a electrician in here eventually. The topaz will help me isolate it and I can still use them after its solved.
Thanks, Rod
