Question for BPT owners....

charles1dad:
I see you have mentioned Equitech somewhere too in another thread - perhaps at one time you had a Son of Q or something?  Did you ever try the 1.5RQ or the 2RQ etc?  And may I ask why you switched to BPT?  I am thinking of balanced power and am curious about the difference between these two highly regarded brands.  I sometimes see a good condition used BPT unit for sale.  In fact I just picked up a small 2.5 amp BPT unit with two isolated outlets, as well as 6 straight distribution type outlets without any isolation or current limitation.  I thought it might be a good way to get my toes wet with balanced power. I will use the four outlets with isolation for my digital playback system and the rest for my integrated tube amp.  And if I like this I might get something for the amp too.  Just wondering if you or anyone else here has any thoughts on my plans or specifically on these two brands.  Right now I am using a Furutech TP80.  In the past I have used a Synergistic Powercell Mk3.
Thank you for any insights.

I just saw the other thread where you posted about BPT and said you actually don't know Equitech so I was clearly remembering reading someone else's comment about Equitech's Son of Q etc.  Anyway, if you or anyone have any thoughts about my using the CPC I just bought on digital source units please let me know.  Thanks anyway

Falconquest and Charles, thanks a lot for the help.  I did speak to someone at Equitech on the phone at one point and he was very helpful and knowledgeable.  I will call again before I take a next step using the number you gave me. Sorry indeed to hear of Mr. Glasband's difficulties.   I am glad to hear that your friend had a good experience with the Son of Q.  I have been thinking of the 1.5RQ as it goes straight into the wall without any need for a special 20 amp socket or anything.  The discussion of the BPT here got me very curious as to what they do differently from Equitech. I will also learn something about what balanced power does for my system when my vintage BPT two outlet 2.5 amp balanced unit with 3 additional isolated outlets arrives next week.  Again, many thanks.

Thanks for the response Falconquest.  I assume the Sonos has  2-pronged plugs?

Actually, I have been using it for my Synergistic 2-prong plugs and everything works well.  I have read in a blog here and perhaps elsewhere too that one should only use 3-prong grounded devices with balanced power in general.  So while the Synergistic devices are grounded, they are grounded separately via a 3-prong plug that is plugged into a distributor that plugs directly in to the wall.  I am wondering that mode of grounding is OK.
