Isolation transformer

Glai,
As with most things concerning home audio they`re many individual experiences. I`ve used a BPT BP 3.5 Signature Plus (balanced transformer similar to Equi-tech) for close to 3 years. It has been an oustanding addition to my system and all components are plugged into it.

The noise floor is lower.dynamics,inner detail/nuance, musical flow,liquidity and sense of ease are much improved compared to wall outlet(20 amp dedicated lines). In my system I have`nt experienced any negative effects. I`m a strong supporter of balanced electrical power. Unlike the above poster, this unit is cool to the touch(24/7 use) and there`s no hum issue. As aiways YMMV.

Best Regards,

It`s refreshing to read the posts of other balanced transformer owners who`s experiences have been as rewarding as my own(note the various brands also). This does represent good science/engineering priciples put to use to significantly improve the sound and enjoyment of one`s audio system. A well designed balanced isolation transformer(of proper size for the job) is definitely money well spent.
