Don't matter

The National Electrical Code says it is verboten, and why would you want to plug anything audio into that GFI outlet. That would not stop me from building or using one but code compliance or lack thereof needs to be understood. Not sure how BPT gets away with it.

Most balanced power supplys are made for the pro audio/video market. Hospital power is a whole nuther issue but uses the same type of transformer design.

The BPT type device in residential application could be interpreted as some sort of add on power filtering device or even a piece of consumer electronics and not interpreted as powering the whole house which would be a code violation. That is certainly how I would interpret it but AHJ's are a narrow minded bunch and a balanced power device such as the BPT does represent a shock hazard if you were to use it for residential lighting. Nobody should but then again nobody should use a gasoline powered push mower as a hedge trimmer...
