Using an isolation transformer is a proven way to reduce line noise. Before large UPS systems were economical, many broadcast and technical centers had a separate isolation transformer for the technical power distribution to keep it somewhat isolated from other building loads.But these guys still have all their audio gear in parallel with their refrigerator and the plethora of switch mode power supplies in today's households. Putting in a dedicated pole transformer does nothing to isolate other loads within the house. And we know that it's those EMI sources that do the most damage. The inductance of the line wires does help filter out distant noise sources.
Classic case of the audiophile having no knowledge of electrical engineering.
They would be far better served in buying a simple 2kva isolation transformer.
