No, your equipment can not be damaged at start-up from the surge. The surge occurs between the primary side of the transformer and the AC wall outlet. Your equipment is totally isolated from this on the secondary side. The power surge at plug-in was (and I do mean was) a fact of our larger...

While balanced power seems to really work it's magic on audio systems the most, it will improve video as well. Colors become brighter with less bleeding. Picture is sharper with more detail and the blacks are better. Improvements are best if DVD , VCR or satellite box is also on balanced power...

Great job and many thanks to Jude for his insightful review of our BP-3. Balanced power does indeed lower the noise floor and let's the recording shine through. We have made many changes to our unit since Jude recieved his "custom" BP-3, incorporating many of the upgrades Jude requested for his...

Jude: This option if for users that have had a qualified electrician instal a technical equipment ground for their system (for a long explaination go to the equitech website under articles). The short version goes: This is a completely separate ground for your dedicated audio/video AC lines, it...

Jude: Yes, the benefits of balanced power are there for 2 prong electronics. All the filtering is done in the BP unit so anything plugged in , even 2 prong plugs, gets balanced/filtered AC.

Jude: It is a black woven polyester monofilament tubing that provides abrasion resistance. You have probably already seen it on other high-end cables. We use the higher quality flame retardent version that has white criss-cross threads. It looks good.

Just thouht I'd drop-in to see if I could answer any questions concerning balanced power and AC conditioning in general. Jude told me about Head-hifi and I think headphone users are in a unique position to benefit from and evaluate power conditioning products. You generally have very simple...
