| Educating Myself About Fan Noise Eight years after the posts above, I want to thank jedinite24 for documenting so much information about the fan. I just bought a Sumo 9 without a prior listening test. The fan was definitely an issue. Having read it should be making 31dB of noise,... | |
| Vintage receivers??? Forgive me if this should be a new thread, but I'm thinking about buying a Marantz 240 power amp from a local vintage hifi shop, with the intention of teaching myself to recap etc. Can anyone speak to how good an amp this could be, and what would ... | |
| How to guess the volt-amp rating of the transformer in my amp A look inside my PM6006 reveals it has 10,000 uF capacitors paired to its presumed 300 VA transformer, which is humbling by comparison. | |
| How to guess the volt-amp rating of the transformer in my amp Thanks, that’s really interesting! I just learned what the capacitors are for. | |
| How to guess the volt-amp rating of the transformer in my amp To answer my own question: I read online that a rule of thumb to find the fuse rating for a given circuit is 1.25 x Power/Volts. (I’m guessing 1.25 is some kind of fudge factor.) Applying that formula for 300VA gives 1.25 x 300VA/120V = 3.13A. The... | |
| How to guess the volt-amp rating of the transformer in my amp Thanks for your help! On the circuit board by the fuse (next to the transformer) the following is written:100V T5AL 250V120V T3.15AL 250V220-240V 1.6 250VI assume these are for different countries with different mains voltage. The bottom two both ... |
