CJ Yes I have assessed AC polarity in my system.
Romy says "I took today my large
3kW isolation transformer and place it between my dedicated line and
PP3000. I lost my lower bass, simple as that. "
Speaking of isolation transformers, I have not had good luck with them at least with my pure audio systems. I have had somewhat better experience with AV equipment or computers. I have found some devices and power cords that were not good in my audio system worked quite well with my (small) HT system and with my computer (and associated audio). For example the PS Audio power cords produced amazingly sluggish bass on my audio system but when used as the computer power cord lost that characteristic completely and provided improved computer audio and video performance. (Most other after market power cords I have tried have been worse in my audio system than HT or computer.) Similarly I found the Audience power filters produced a slight hardening of the sound in my audio system (as do Shunyata) but are excellent when my TV is plugged into them.
