What is in the tripplite voltage regulator is an 8 tap transformer. Picks the appropriate tap via relays

for +5, +10, +15, +20, -5, -10, -15, -20 % I have a picture of the insides of the lc1800 somewhere.

Years ago, people raved over the lc1800. Don't remember if the lc1800 is isolated or not.

Kind of limited for power... (at least for people like me)

For the more technically inclined members... how would something like this be:

This for Voltage Regulation

http://www.tripplite.com/products/product.cfm?productID=208

and this for an Isolation transformer

http://www.tripplite.com/products/product.cfm?productID=231

I can get both for under $400.

Actually, I have been looking into the TrippLite LC1800 myself. The price seems right to me...

So, Kevin, is it an OK device then, if one does not need much power?

I would only use it in a set up with headphone amps, sources, turntable, phono stage...but no power amp in the rig...

Would the isolation transformer be a good idea?

Well it also does voltage regulation and the battery backup will be useful during the frequent brownout/blackouts we have in the summer here. For me the fact that it runs off the battery all the time is just an added bonus, the perfect sine wave and regulated 120V output are the important factors for me.

tkam,

is that a similar alternative to the uber expensive "audiophile" APS units currently selling on audiogon. I am curious....heh

I have not received the thing from a couple of posts up. the guy is a slooow shipper. I believe it is just about heading my way now. I'll update once I get it, hopefully it works in my setting. for reference, the only form of power treatment I am using are those ubiquitous moster power strips :)
