RE: Power conditioner or Hammond choke? Opinions...

Posted by kenster on June 20, 2007 at 23:44:36:
As U have noted, your main concern should be isolating your CD player, or any digital device for that matter, from the rest of your system via an isolation transformer on the power line/cord feeding the CD player.

I am not at all familiar with your Powervar unit but if all the oulets on the Powervar are daisy chained after the transformer and all your components R plugged into those outlets, U R dumping digital noise back into all the components connected to the Powervar.

On the other hand, if all U have connected to the Powervar is the CD player, then the transformer should effectively stop the digital noise from infiltrating the other components.

Others will have to chime in about the Hammond choke.

Hope this helps,
