The equitech looks good but their transformers go from single phase to 3phase from the house fuse box. 3 phase in home audio is pointless and there is no reason to spend that kind of money. Which Leaves only single phase products as viable. 2 phase is where it's at. IMO of course.
No transformer can convert single phase to three phase power. A transformer can only invert phases of separate secondaries.
Equitech may offer 3 phase products also, but that doesn't disqualify their single phase products from audio use. A balanced transformer converts a single ended 120V mains into +60V 0 -60V output. Ground floats, eliminating ground loop related hum. Lots of yuk is filtered out and many benefits from the balanced power. The large transformer adds reservoir of magnetic energy to especially help amps with relatively small transformers and storage caps due to high voltage (tube amps.) The only drawback to Equitech or BPT is the mechanical vibration of the large transformer. For tube amps it is lightning from heaven.
A small balanced power transformer kit for small amps available from Transcendent Sound.
Is Torus balanced power? I thought it was just big isolation tranny, single ended on input and output? Do they also have true balanced output versions?
You can order them Fully balanced 240v 20amp from the fuse box. There is not much to them other than the isolation and step down to 120v to each of their 8 outlets. They give you a fully balanced power cord from the wall to the Torus.
This is imo the only way to apply a conditioner to SS or high power Tubes.
I got the transformer nut holding the transformer down out so the mechanical vibration is equalized into the chassis. Plus its sits on its own platform off the floor.
I have never heard a Single Phase Torus at home but only showroom but they do make their own transformers. They are transformer supplier. The smallest you can get is 20 amp or 10 amp per phase off the fuse box.
3 phase are for chefs..lol. Their stoves will operate at 240v and they can get another 120 for elements or microwave, clock ... Whatever, Completely pointless for home audio
Furhman makes 240V dual phase also. This is the only way to meaningful wire a conditioner. YMMV
