Isolation transformer question


I know people who say they have bad power, and want to buy an isolation transformer.

When it comes to audio improvements, what will an isolation transformer do that all of the transformers in your gear aren't already doing?

(I'm not talking about "power conditioners" which include many things like filter capacitors, inductors, and so on)

I have an Audience AR6 power conditioner. I bought it three houses ago and it made a positive difference. I moved from the big city to a brand new subdivision on the edge of farm country. The people across the street had Moo Cows and the next house rotated crops. Anyway, there, the power conditioner seemed to do absolutely nothing. I left it in for the magnetic circuit breaker, but that’s it.  8 years later, I’m back in the big city and the AR6 makes a very noticeable difference.
