RE: Running at 240vac.....

The advantage of using 240V lines was written up in an article in Audio Amateur sometime back in the late 70s early 80s but I can't find it now.

The company's name you are thinking of is Equi=tech (located in Oregon). They sell balanced power applications to recording studios and residential users. I just bought a 120V 2RQ unit after trying one out for awhile. I got a lower noise floor and a much more 3D soundstage.

Another company, Torus Power, sells isolation transformers. I'm not sure whether these systems are balanced or not, but the aim is noise reduction.

Jon Risch had a write-up and a home-brew solution for this stuff on his website.
