New Subpanel?
If you decide to go with an isolation transformer you should consider looking for a used Xentech Extreme (5 KVA). Do the job correctly, once, the first time: 
Power Bars or power filters??
I have had the opportunity to listen to several high-end systems (tube and SS) where the owner has at least two dedicated circuit breakers feeding their system. In this situation the systems sounded better being fed directly from the AC (high-end)...

RE: Outfitting AC to 220V in USA

Isolation transformer benefits?
I don't think you would hear an improvement, or at least it wouldn't be worth the investment of the isolation transformer. I'd hold as is and enjoy the music. I assume you are using some high end AC outlets?

After having your cables cryo’d, you will definitely hear an improvement by putting time on them. In other words burn them in once again. 
Dedicated circuit = dedicated line?
In my opinion, if nothing else is drawing from the circuit breaker then you have a dedicated line. It is possible that you could benefit from two dedicated circuits depending upon the total draw of amps. It’s a good idea to have digital on a separ... 
HELP NEED UPGRADE ADVICE
What’s your power source?Do you have dedicated circuits including upgraded AC outlets?If not, I’d start there. I believe you would hear a significant improvement for a relatively small expenditure. 
Class A power amp will give the best BASS SLAM?
