Topaz High Isolation Transformer??

[rodrigo]

Hi everyone-

I'm setting the power for my project studio, and I would like to get the proper regulation / noise suppresion, etc.

I read a great paper called A Clean Audio Installation by Allen H. Burdick at the Benchmark Media site. It recommended a separate line feed, a quality transformer (and they mentioned Topaz), among other things. Here's the link:

I'm wondering if any of you have tried the Topaz 100 series. I'm looking at the 5000 VA Hardwired model to power all the audio lines in my studio.

A local audio engineer advised me to get a ferroresonant model. He said this particular model is not a regulator, but simply a noise suppresor. Which transformer would you recommend me? I have a budget around $500 - $700. If the Topaz 100 is good for me, I'll get it. But I don't think Equitech or more expensive stuff is compatible with my budget / needs.

Any help is very appreciated.

Best regards,
