Hi Jaoco:

It's actually rather reassuring that you have 230v in Chile so that if you report positively on an Equi-Tech unit, I will not have to worry that something could be lost in translation as one goes from a 110V unit to their 230v european counterpart.

Oxric , the company was mentined before , but I think was not analized in this same thread and briefly another one with a very similar aproach "Torus" .



Actually if the post you are referring to is the one below by Romy. i.e. post 180 on page 9 of this thread, I am not sure it is pertinent as it refers to a 2008 review in Soundstage of the Torus RM15 Power Conditioner, which is nothing more or less than a well-packaged isolation transformer, as Romy points out.

It would not surprise for anyone that I do monitor what I going on with power treatment devises out there. Today I was reading Doug Blackburn’s review in Soundstage about Torus Power Conditioner.

The Torus Power Conditioner is a plain-vanilla isolated transformer, similar to Equi=Tech. The Equi=Tech uses Maryland Toroids transformers; Torus uses Plastron transformers – big freaking deal.



Romy refers to Equi-Tech as being a similar device, but I doubt that he could have been referring to the Balanced Power units which although they do and must make use of what appears to be a highly specified transformer goes much further with their balanced power technology. It is true that it looks as if Torus Power, I imagine prompted by the success and competition from Equi-Tech balanced power units, recently started their own balanced power solutions but this being 2010, this could not have been what Romy was referring to in 2008.

Anyway, Joaco, I look forward to your report on any Equi=Tech balanced power unit, if you manage to get hold of one.

Rakesh
