RE: Line Filters...

A garden-variety isolation transformer provides DC and 60Hz isolation, but 
the primary and secondary are wound on top of each other, so have a good 
deal of capacitance between them.  There are high isolation units with very 
low capacitance between the windings, but they are uncommon and probably 
expensive.

With a low power unit like that, I was wondering if there would be any
mileage in sticking an isolation tranformer in circuit.
