The audiophile-looneys (sorry if I'm offending any audiophile-looneys out
there ;-) are big on balanced power for reducing ground loop hum and noise.
(Not *quite* the same as balancing both legs on the 240V service, but it's
an interesting idea.) They tend to take 120V in and use a torroid to make
two opposite taps each of 60V to run the electronics off of. I know I
always seem to get hum out of my video games (Star Wars and Asteroids seem
particularly finicky)-- might be interesting to see what one of those things
would do for it...
