Yes, the original question was directed specifically to Victor about using the Cyclops with the BAT amplifier. Victor understandably doesn't want anything between the amplifier's power supply and the wall outlet that may in any manner restrict current or (I assuming now) cause power line ringing.
However, I am sure that Victor does not know how the Cyclops was designed and whether it restricts current or not. I do know, since I designed it.
Now the question has moved on to a question of how much a Cyclops does or doesn't restrict current. We can have that discussion on the Shunyata forum since it is not about Victor's opinion, my opinion or any BAT to Shunyata specific interaction.
It is easy to make a claim that a product doesn't "restrict current". That claim is made constantly by many manufacturers. However, technically, ALL devices including power line wire restrict current to some degree.
Now the only question is - how much and is it relevant to the operation of the equipment that it is attached to it.
