audiophile grade sub panel and breakers?

If using the excellent Equitech sub panel be aware there are some excellent power conditioners that wont be effective without a ground reference. In other words they may be useful 'ahead' of the balanced output of the Equitech. I use a 2Q and it's great, but I have improved the power with other units as well. Is there such a thing as a dummy ground for this?

The secondary side center-tap of Equi=Tech products connect to the incoming ground on the primary side, so there is a ground reference all the way back to the electrical service panel main grounding electrode.

My comment was based on manufactures of other products stating the centre ground is before the balanced power output. Mistake?

Here's a good reference:http://www.msbtech.com/support/wiring.php?Page=supportHome

To BudBurma: Thank you for the referral to the MSB wiring upgrade article. Have you had this work done to your listening room? I'm interested to learn about your experience.

I had been leaning toward an Equi-Tech conditioner to balance the power delivery to my system ( hybrid solid state and tube ) and lower the noise floor but there are other fine products, including Isoclean, that I've considered in the past.

I've read the 6 Moons evaluation of the in-wall Equi-Tech panel and followed up with pertinent technical articles about balanced power and the effects of correctly performed wiring. It's clearly a subject that requires both theoretical and practical information to make an informed decision.

Cheers,
David
