| How deadly is transformer hummm... I have an amp in my collection, a Smart Theater Systems TA 242, which is based on a Hafler design, nicely built power supply, toroid transformer, highly biased in class A, roughly 120 X 2. I acquired this years ago from a movie theater updating it... | |
| How deadly is transformer hummm... I believe I found a picture, that allows me to understand what atmasphere was speaking about. The power transformer, seems to be " sunken ", into the chassis, but imo, can still be isolated from the chassis, but likely, not with these that I recom... | |
| How deadly is transformer hummm... What you purchased, that I recommended, should be fine with temperature, as the mounting area, does not get as warm as other areas of the transformer. Additionally, heat rises. I would like to see a close up of the transformer mounting area, as I ... | |
| How deadly is transformer hummm... Wanted to add, I hear most transformers, when I place my ear, against the chassis of amplifiers ( including this Edge unit ), but, I accept this, as they all make noise, as I indicated. As long as it is not amplified, through the system, out to th... | |
| How deadly is transformer hummm... @atmasphere I have not been able to find a close up photo of the transformer mountings of this amp, however, I respect your opinion, and feel, it is quite unfortunate. As I have stated, I have done hundreds of these " mods ", and all for the bette... | |
| How deadly is transformer hummm... @listening99....check out Lowes...item # 198831, model # 88577......rubber flat washer...10 pack....I should have stated " washer ". Sorry. These work great. No need to tighten too much, as you want to keep the integrity of the rubber..... | |
| How deadly is transformer hummm... @listening99....I am recommending between the transformer ( where the 4 corners mount ) and the chassis ( the screws will go through the damping material / products ). Transformers do get warm ( in your case, the power transformer, not so much the... | |
| How deadly is transformer hummm... Humming is the obvious choice, when you do not know the words....lol.....Seriously......The truth of all transformers...... they all hum, radiate noise ( Toroids produce less than E-I core ) and exhibit, some amount of vibration, as well. I believ... | |
| Partly passive preamp? I use Tim Stinson’s Luminous Audio Axiom II, Walker Mod unit....3 in, 2 out, single ended, remote ( volume, mute ). Love it, as I can’t hear it. His cables are excellent, as well. Be well.....stay safe...... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? @mahgister....when you receive them ( Amazon ships quick ), experiment with the placement of them under the component ( s ) before you peel, for the adhesive. In fact, you do not need to use the adhesive.....Enjoy !, and my best to you, as well. | |

| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? I have tried hockey pucks before, and the footers I recommended ( also from Amazon ) are, imo, superior......in place of the feet that come with the amplifiers, not in conjunction with them. BTW, for naysayers of isolation feet, isolation can happ... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? All footers have a sound, and different, dependent on under chassis placement. ***********Google = DRBMP-BLK-01 .......on Amazon....self adhesive rubber door stopper bumpers, 4 pack, designed to stop door knob, from damaging wall. I have used thes... | |
| Is imaging reality? @n80.....agree completely...a good example of a recording I own, such as Tull's Aqualung, ( which has lots of compession, eq., etc. ), was done, allowing me to follow the band, each member individually, and, as a complete whole. Engineers and prod... | |
| New JBL Studio Monitors (4349) Coming in September As we are buddies, you can always send me some of this stuff, so I can listen, and evaluate them...specifically, horn speakers, power amps, and dacs......lol.... |
