Torus Power Isolation Transformers (getting a RM 16 or upgrading to Pro)

Yes, i also agree that Isolation Transformer has a positive effect on Devialet Expert amplification, apart from using good power cords. I am using one with improved dynamics, lower noise floor etc.

By the way, is Torus trans fully balanced? I remembered it is not, but not sure for all the designs.

I have listened to a Devialet with a big PS Audio mains conditioner, I thought this had a very negative impact on dynamics.  In you post above, you state you are getting improved dynamics.  I presume you are referring to the Plixir Elite BAC 3000 Power Conditioner per your signature?  I am thinking that products like this are very system specific in how they work.  It is not an area in which I have any kind of expert knowledge, but if dynamics matter, what type of mains conditioning works from a technical perspective, and works well with a Devialet?  I'm sure Devialet amps can be quite demanding with respect to peak loads?

Yes, I was referring to my experience with my Plixir BAC 3000 Power Conditioner. It is actually similar to the Torus Power setup, which is mainly an Isolation Transformer to clean up the nasty noisy which may be at the mains. I opt for the 3000W version not to impact dynamics.

I do not have any experience and much knowledge on PS Audio mains conditioner. I believe their conditioner cleans up and regenerate the AC signals for the hifi equipment which is different from and further more than what isolation trans does.

As for my comments of having improved dynamics, it does not mean the amplifiers are receiving more power during the delivery. The music sounds more dynamic to me is probably due to the cleaner supply which provides better clarity and resolution to the sound. There is more impact from sudden soft to loud transitions and complex music passages in classical orchestral pieces.
