I am running a BPT fed by a dedicated circuit. I found that the video peformance on my old CRT based TV was phenomenally improved. I don't run my integrated out of the conditioner since I found that it definetely chokes off the sound.
Balanced power compatabilty census
I have run across some equipment that does and does not work well with balanced AC. I thought this forum might help others, if supported. In my case, I used 5KVA transformer and one piece of gear at a time.
===============
If you are unfamiliar with "balanced AC", it refers to 60 volts +/- as referenced to ground and hot/neutral are 180 degrees out of phase. Normal (North America) power from outlets is 120V on hot leg only. Equi=Tech, Balanced Power Tech. and DIY projects convert single phase to dual phase with the "promise" of reduced noise. In some cases, sonic improvemnt can be more than just reduced noise. In other cases, the grounding scheme of the equipment may not be compatible. Don't jump to conclusions that because one experience or model worked or didn't, that it reflects on the brand or type.
=================
Genesis Stealth amp did not work properly but I suspect problem is due to active x-over.
Plinius SA100 mk3 worked better but no better than simple isolation.
Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 loved it and had immediately noticeable improvement.
Manley Snappers sounded compressed with balanced AC. Odd for differential amp.
I have yet to try with sources which have separate isolation.
Does anyone else have have positive or negative reports?
