First time posting in this thread, but I was enlightened in another forum about power conditioning and surge protection. Maybe it's already been covered, I just skimmed through the thread.
An isolation transformer is an isolation transformer. period. You can dress it up and make it pretty and charge a fortune for it, but in the end it is still just an isolation transformer. It is what is inside all large amps and why EMO even says you can plug it straight into the wall.
I just spent $178.00 on an UGLY 4.8kva isolation transformer. It gives my theater up to 60 amps dedicated power for everything in the theater. ALL...ALL my stuff is plugged into it, even the projector through a rather long extension cord.
And I did notice an improvement in the audio...primarily the subs. They were much more in my face and tighter. I actually had to turn them down.
Shipping the beast was extra....150lbs from CO to IL
I also had to run a new 220 volt circuit to the back wall of the theater. So the project cost added up. But, now I don't have to worry about spikes, or needing more power, and the isolation also means that the power is clean and stable.

Are you saying, for example, if my sub is connected to the wall outlet, and the in the same outlet I have my surge protector unit plugged in, that if I got a surge it would fry the sub and all the components connected to the surge protector as well? If you have your stereo plugged into a nice surge protector, which is then plugged into the wall, all is well. If you plug your sub into the same surge protector, all is well. If you plug your sub (or projector) somewhere else, whether the same or different circuit, or even the same receptacle as your surge protector, but not into your surge protector, the sub and everything connected to it is no longer well protected. Any spike that hits the sub (or projector), will fry it's amp and travel down the audio cable back to your other goodies, damaging things "in from the back door" as it were. If you plug your sub into a different surge protector, your protection is only as good as the weakest surge protector. |

All other things being equal then yes. I've never been to Oz but to that side of the world a few times and lost a piece or two of equipment thinking that they would be able to handle the different voltages but didn't/couldn't. I think Emo-amps are capable of handling the voltage but you may have to flip a switch in the back. Shoot an email to tech support to confirm.

Yes, several people do it. Even Emotiva sells an upgrade to their power cables that are shipped with their products.
