I also have a JR Iso Tranny for my digital front end, but that's not what I'm talking about.A year or so ago when the Hammond choke tweak appeared Al Sekela clued me into how to make a device with a similar effect using an EI transformer that I had lying around. He perfected it with the addition of R-Cs across the secondaries. He put it into his system where it worked well; I put it into mine, where it also worked very well. According to Al, the effect should be pretty much the same as what the Hammond choke does (he can tell you the theory).
He's refered to it in several recent posts here.
It's simply another form of parallel AC filter. Just uses a 2 wire plug into an ordinary transforme on the primaries, then the R-Cs on the secondaries. Nothing plugs into that device; it exists as a parallel device plugged into whatever your system is fed by.
Don't know whether this is considered balanced or isolated or whether that even matters here.
