RE: Transformers offer some filtering, but not as much as chokes.

I'm not at all sure what you're doing here. I mentioned the JR iso tranny because it's attached between the secondaries, so that you have 110 going in one end and coming out the other, with filtration at lower voltage in between.

As to the transformer-R-C tweak of Al's, check his past posts for how to calculate values of the R-Cs for the particular transformer. He told me that the little tranny I was using was not going to be as powerful a filter as the very large one he's using or any larger values. But it's a noticeable improvement in my system just the same and the stuff was lying around anyway. I just attached a snipped PC and plug to it. When I get around to testing a choke, whichever works better I'll wire directly into my DIY power strip on a short leash.

Working on other projects now, so no time for that.
