With what I know today, I wouldn’t even bother with the AVR version and just purchase the RM version. The relays of the AVR are rather noisy when they switch. I own a TOT and an AVR and they do exactly what is advertised. Excellent products and excellent support from Ross Whitney.
For the most part I agree with you. I had the Furman isolation transformer/filter and it did a good job. However when I looked at my home voltage with an o-scope and saw how distorted it was (3 to 4%) I decided to look for an alternative solution. When my voltage reached 127v (summer Heat) my system sounded much worse. Hence the P10. Now the ac waveform is always clean and sound quality is high and consistent.
