| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? Maybe, but I don’t think a soft start on 150VA transformer with 2x10,000uf cap is necessary, IMO. https://neurochrome.com/pages/the-ultimate-guide-to-soft-start-design | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? One function of the capacitor is to smooth AC ripple voltage on the supply rails, higher capacitance is better, provided its not over-stressing the transformer and rectifier, 10,000uF should be fine but do not go any higher. | |
| help on changing capacitors Can you buy those capacitors from BAT? | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? would it be beneficial to increase C to 20,000uf total for each psu, total 40,000uf per pair of psu? Yes, check dimensions if the capacitors can fit in before ordering. | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? Do you mean at the outputs of the amp/speaker connections? What value would be suitable? No, the diode is in series to each +55V and -55V of the power supplies outputs to Amplifier. The reason of adding those diode in series is to isolate bot... | |
| Bi Wire Question I assume I can use both A and B sets?If so.....from the A section on Receiver say left channel....a run from receiver + to high pass + on speaker and from receiver - to lhigh pass - on speaker? Same for right. And from B section on receiver th... | |
| Hacking a Luxman Integrated I deleted my last post because it is same as @erikt recommended. Subwoofer output from the Denon to each of the LFE inputs on the subs, the Left line level input from each of the subwoofer connect to Luxman preouts (Sub 1: Luxman Left preout, S... | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? Jim Stuart of Meridian made a comment years ago when asked about the 'lean' nature of the old Meridian 105 monos. He said what they need is a bigger transformer. The amp and psu are in separate chassis. I just happen to have an extra pair of ... | |

| Can hardware change speaker phasing over time?? I wired the speakers back to "in phase" and the world was right again. I have a wandering phase issue, either with one of the speakers or the electronics in the receiver or amp. I suggest you test your B&W CM10s polarity with a 1.5V batt... | |
| Issue with Grace Tonearm Itn’t the G-520 = 8", G-540 = 9" and G-560 = 12" ? For a normal arm, the second digit of the three-digit number of the model number is a guideline for the length. For example, in terms of length, G-520L <540L <560L. http://20cheaddateba... | |
| Input limited Use the tape loop of your SAE 5000? http://www.swingmusic.net/Audio_Remastering/SAE_5000_back_opt.jpg | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs The clarification I am looking for is the “Parts Express” LOC, that is mentioned earlier in this thread. It states that it has a 30 watts max rating. If my amplifier is rated at 400 watts, what reliability concern is there due to the vast differen... | |
| Input limited You can use the Tape1 and Tape2 "PLAY" as a line level input. For example, connect the CD player output to Tape1 "PLAY" input, switch on the Tape Monitor1 for CD playback, switch it off to select other source. | |
| Issue with Grace Tonearm I believe your Grace 560 is a 12" tonearm and the mounting distance is 270mm, make sure your turntable plinth is big enough to mount this arm. I suggest you post your question in Analog section, you will get more response. |
