Hello guys,
I'm using an isolation transformer myself, having came from furman condtioners - sine power strips - plixir bac2000 - plixir elementa2500 - torus tot mini 3(For sources). I've to testify that power should not be regarded as something secondary. The power coming from the power conditioner changes sound so drastically that without a proper unit, the potential of one's equipments that follow may not be maximised. Like equipments, power conditioners has their very own sound signature. It's tough to describe whether isolation transformers are better than power regeneration devices having not compared them side by side. I'll be keen to give this a shot in due time.
The isolation transformer i'm using now is in fact, none of the above mentioned. I've customed made mine with the help of Robert from Art Audio. The total cost, SGD$3000. The conditioner design was built from the ground up, synthesizing inputs from various sources(including inspecting products ive owned previously, reading forums, receiving feedback from customers and audiophiles alike) and of course, countless listening sessions following after each tweak. Having done a shootout between the one i'm using with other products available in the market, I'm certain that the engine(isolation transformer) driving my system is superior in tonality, separation and spatial representation compared to products costing twice as much. The verdict was further supported by 7 out of 9 individuals after the most recent shootout.
I've heard from Robert that with the positive feedback from customers he's getting, he will be releasing the isolation transformer as a full fledged product with stocks being made available in a months time. A special call out to all bros out there, I would sincerely like you to give this product a shot. It will definitely transform your system, providing maximum detail retrieval in the most natural way. A friend of mine was at my place yesterday and he only had one word to describe the isolation transformer, "Effortless".
