Who has dumped the power conditioner?

Al, I am considering a couple of power isolation transformer based products. One takes non balanced in and outputs balanced power, or so I believe. That's the equi=tech. The other is a Torus power isolation unit and since I don't have balanced AC in the house and won't be adding in via dedicated lines, I won't get the balanced in version, just the non balanced in.

Would you say that the equi=tech would not really be impacted by the balanced power issues you mentioned because it is not actually connected to 240V balanced in power?

Al, I had a look at the paper and it looks to me that the author believes that balanced AC power will only reduce hum under a specific and rare condition -- in a system with three chassis that have the same capacitance. But most of the article content regarding "balanced vrs unbalanced" pertains to interconnects and signal, not power. I don't really see much here that is related to balanced power causing inconsistencies in results in different systems. Unless I just missed it.
