isolation transformer vs line conditioner


I have a single pseudodedicated line ( line form fuse box at home only supply stereo equip. & lights of that room.)
I am considering a line conditioner like BPT3.5 or shunyata hydra at the outlet vs an isolation transformer interpose betw. the fuse box and the outlet in that room.
Which would provide most bang for bucks?
Where can i buy isolation transformer cheap? 5kv topaz is more than a grand.
WHich LC is better? shunyata or bpt?

Having seen the output waveforms of isolation transformers on an oscilloscope, I definately wouldn't want one in my audio system. Their output is fine for electrical equipment but not for human ears IMO. Arthur
Glai, I don't know who is quoting you a price in excess of $1,000 for the 5kVA MGE Topaz isolation transformer, but I think that price is inflated by a factor of two. Try Al Magro at Allied Electronics in Bristol, Pennsylvania:

The Hydra is a filter, not a conditioner and i the BPT is an isolation transformer.
