I've done the same

but using the RGPC devices. I have many isolation transformers, most of which are rated for 8.3 amps or so, but I have a few in the 500 watt range. Still I rarely use my isolating transformers for much audio use, limiting them to front end components. I even run a couple in series for my Plasma. All usages have benefited from the chokes added, however, as your messages seem to imply.

I started experimenting with isolation transformers quite early, way back in 1979. I had several smaller transformers and curiously it had the most profound effect on my TT at the time, a non Valhalla Linn LP-12. At only 500 watts (I still have it) It was marginal for anything else. Eventually I scored a pallet of 1000 Watters and thus could experiment with running them in series and in parallel, and then learned by experience that you need a lot of juice for the amplifiers, but I digress.

Glad to see you recovering from the flu, and welcome back.
