opinions on the Equi=Tech Wall Cabinet?

this is a replacement for a standard A/C distribution panel. it is built around Equi=Tech's Q-type isolation transformer and outputs balanced power. it is suppose to lower the noise floor 12db.

Equi=Tech Wall Cabinet System

i would be interested in the 10kVA size with the OFC copper wiring option and the EMI/RFI filter option on 3 or 4 circuts for my digital source and the digital amps in my subwoofers.

i do know that Equi=Tech makes stand alone boxes that are used in room.....i am looking for an additional level of whole system isolation. i already have a dedicated 'home run' from my electrical meter straight to the panel and use 2 dedicated ground straps for the panel. all 10 circuts off the panel are 10 guage romex 'home runs' to cryo'd Jena Labs duplex outlets. i use Jena Labs Fundamental 1 power cords with in-line conditioners. my system is quiet but i know an isolation transformer will make it quieter.

does anyone have 'before and after' experience with one of these things?

anyone A/C power experts have an informed opinion?

when i built my dedicated room i had this unit in mind as my acoustical designer had used it in many of his studio installations. i finally have the funds to seriously consider it.

I have the very same panel you are interested in. The company has excellent customer service, and the panel made a significant upgrade in my system. Five of the dedicated outlets from this panel go to my music room and the other five go to my theater room. It is very heavy (over 300 lbs.) and my electrician had to jury-rig a steel mount to hold it upon the wall. I have found that there is further improvement in using the Equitech wall panel in conjuntion with other conditioners of different technology (such as Shunyata, Audiomagic and the Powerwing)

Hope this helps and good luck,
