(sorry, I don't have the full version, but the headline says it all!)
it's not only the pole its a private high voltage to 100V transformer
!:)

Funny thing if its a small transformer the network impedance can be much
higher than with a shared common transformer of much larger size thus
,he can can get more voltage disstorsion from his own stuff and less
peak power and higher voltage drop ?

Well OTT would a very large transformer with shield winding like what we
at my work uses for large drive systems ... but bevare of very large
large shortcicuit currents and dimension fuses et al accordingly :D :D

Genius... Surely the discerning audiophile goes straight to batteries as
a power source anyway....?
