Maybe this will help. Check link...

old guy 42 or anyone else willing to respond, according to the link the resistor is to be wired in series with the X2 cap. Should the resistor be in line before or after the capacitor and what of adding a varistor to reduce start-up spike(s). The above electrical components will be added to an AC outlet that is being installed into an 1.8kw Topaz noise isolation transformer, to power my front end components.
Thanks to all.
If the signal is propagating left to right through the RC filter, with the R in series and the C in parallel, the unfiltered signal would be on the left before it gets to the R and the filtered signal would be on the right after passing the C.
You have to decide where you want the filtered and unfiltered side to be at in your circuit and configure the component arrangement accordingly.
I could place the varister before the isolation transformer and slow the in-rush current or I could place it between the transformers output and the AC receptical and slow the in-rush current there. I'm inclined to slow it prior to the transformer. Though I don't want to create a "choke point" or current limiting, though it may be unavoidable. Is there an optimal place, to your line of thinking and is there an educated guess as to how its presence will effect the sound in the end?
perform the same function of absorbing an in-rush spike and that the varister is kind of over kill? or am I wrong on this?
