Mix single-ended (P10) with balanced (P300 or P600) power?

I just got a P10 and can't be more enthusiastic about it. As I recently posted on another forum:

"The improvement I got in my system's sound when I installed a PS Audio P-10 power regenerator a couple of days ago was large and very enlightening... for me, it turned my setup with my new amps from edgy struggle to excited enjoyment... and I expect the sound to improve as they continue to break-in.

...For me, the neatest thing is that my weekday-evenings good-quality listening window and weekend-evenings great-quality listening windows have been combined into a pretty-much-all-the-time even better quality listening window. WooHoo!!!!"

Ok, now I'm thinking 'what next'? And I think I have it... my main source is a DIY music server based in cics's cMP/cPlay setup and powered by a number of linear supplies. cics suggests plugging the supplies for the 'dirty' power consumers (processor, harddrives, screen, etc) into a separate AC circuit in the house. I kept them separate and did not plug them into the P10. I suspect a likely improvement would be to put them on regenerated power using a separate regenerator. I'm thinking either a P300-500-P600 or a PPP.

But as I remember, a P300-500-P600 would be balanced power where the P10 is not. I could easily go with a P300 for this from a cost perspective since these circuits do not draw a lot of power.

But am I going to risk ground loops, hum, and noise mixing the balanced and unbalanced?

TIA!
