Back in Iowa at "Cornstock" in 2019, I was given a Medical-Grade Isolation Transformer. I got it home and ran some gear through it. It was noisy. Eventually, I suspected the SG44's, two of them, and found that they were thermistors intended to limit the initial inrush of current. They were cheap, so I ordered some from Mouser and they arrived in two days. I put two new ones in, put the case back on and made up a cord for power output. The power outs are those inverse ISE plugs, but most of my gear does not use ISE cords.
Then...I plugged a CD player into it. No noise! The shop system is already on a small Medical-Grade Isolation Transformer, so this big one (nine outlets) will go to the main system. I think I'll call Micro Center and see if there are adapters so I can adapt to ordinary two-prong plugs... Oh, I just saw that the thing retails for seven hundred bucks!
