why balanced power last before component?

Thanks Gbart. i will look up later. :)

Gbart wow.. That's a fine looking unit. So appropriate to have the separate transformer. Where would you suggest for a transformer? Would you suggest some differential blockers?
Very slick work.

Plitron has a balanced isolation transformer, Part #8575-X0-02, that is available for sale to DIYers. Equi=Tech has factory B stock and "blems" available for sale direct from the factory from time to time. Toroid Corporation of Maryland also sells balanced isolation transformers. Factory quoted lead time is 2 weeks, but in my experience was more like 3 business days. The transformers in my unit pictured are from Toroid Corp. Schurter, Corcom and Qualtek make EMI/RFI filters that are suitable as pre-filters ahead of an isolation transformer. PM me at sae_2300@optimum.net if you need more specific details.

Here's the link to the Plitron order page:

I use an isolation transformer (medical grade) from the wall before my Shunyata Triton. It greatly improves the sound of the Triton vs. taking the Triton directly from the wall.
