I purchased a Torus Tot for my Devialet and so far I'm very happy with it. The transformer based solution to power makes a lot of sense.

I bought the basic Tot. 7 Amps and 120 Volts. I think they make them for 220 as well. It sounds like it did when it sounded its best -- evenings and weekends -- all of the time.

You can also check Core Power Technologies 1800 unit. I just saw it at California Audio Show and read bunch of user reviews. Looks like there's a free trial available including shipping if you are in US.
I bought Furman unit couple of weeks ago and am very happy, but a few folks have told me that either Shunyata Denali or core power unit can easily bring substantial improvements over Furman.
I have heard great things about Torus RM20 unit as well.

So, there´s no difference in sound, no matters is day or night.
But didi you feel a improvement from the very beginning?
I´m searching for something, i don´t know what, to "clean" my system sound. Somedays it sounds great, others not so much.
That´s why i´m asking.
I don't hear an improvement over when the Devialet sounds good -- i.e. evening when the giant biotech firms in my neighborhood are sending out less hash over the grid -- but the sound is now pretty good at any hour. I have dedicated outlets in my house as well. I was impressed by
the Stereophile review since maintaining good sound in Mexico City is harder than where I live. And the technology is straightforward which I like -- power conditioners and cables that promise great improvements but don't explain how or why are not my thing. I bought the cheapest TOT since I don't need voltage regulation, the one in the review is fancier.

I just installed a Torus TOT Max, the improvement on Phantom is substantial even with dedicated power line and good grounding already implemented, in a residential area with fairly new power line infrastructure.
