Hydra Cyclops - Any benefit for my Power-amp?


Right now I plug all my stereo equipments into a Japanese CSE TX-1200 Isolation Transformer (CDP, Clock, Per-amp, Mono-block Power-amp). I like the sound go through the Isolation transformer than plug my Power amp directly into my Furutech rhodium-Plated wall receptacles., By connect my power-amp with my isolation transformer, which sounds better density, much quiet, more darker backstage, richer texture, more transparency... But I'm afraid will overload my Isolation transformer. Now I'm thinking to buy a Shunyata Hydra Cyclops for my Mono-block power amp, do you think it will bring any benefit for my Power-amp?

My power amp is: Electrocompaniet AW-180 Mono-block

What power cords are you using? Depending on your answer...these might be a better first step than a Cyclops...The Shunyata power cords are excellent...
