Terry, have you tried any Equitech by chance?
How about the old MIT Z Stabilizer (fixed short cord) or the newer(but still well out of production!) Z Stabilizer ll with the silver or black face and a duplex in the back and detachable cord? They can both be a very interesting combo with your isolation transformer.
Hi Terry. If I were to use an industrial unit it would perhaps be at the house power supply entry, and certainly before the 2Q. The reduction in gross noise & constant voltage the industrial unit would provide 'might' enhance the effectiveness of the 2Q.( I think of the industrial unit as a serrated knife and the recording studio/NASA quality oriented Equitech 2Q as a scalpel.) At our audio level I hope we are all looking at "refining" already decent power-at least that's what I'm about. My experience with my 2Q balanced transformer is all positive-but-a Z Stabilizer (1st and/or 2nd version)certainly has proven very beneficial to my Spectral/MIT system(combination of common-mode & differential noise reduction). But I'm always looking to improve/refine my sound. I'm hoping to hear from someone who has added a Shunyata to a system using a balanced transformer.
Jafant. have you tried combinations with any other conditioners. How do you use the 2 you have?
Terry, I use a 2Q transformer and found MIT products to compliment it nicely.
Terry, I agree about industrial equipment reliability/robustness; and I completely agree with your comment about pure power being the most under rated factor in audio. . However I feel equipment designed for industrial use may not be as "refined" as some high end "audio only". I presently use an Equitech 2Q, which balanced transformer I understand is industrial and high end audio grade, but I have found my gear benefits from additional ac treatment.
