| How Much DC is OK on a Power Line? Gbart, could you make a dc line filter / blocker for me? If so, can you email me at: white 78 911 at hotmail dot com | |
| 3 preamps with transformer hum, DC on the line? I returned the isolation transformer within the 30 day return window, which was easy after buying it locally.I might try ordering the parts my own humbuster / dc filter and have one of the two local audio service shops do the assembly. Can someone... | |
| 3 preamps with transformer hum, DC on the line? The isolation transformer (a Tripp Lite IS350) did not change anything. I think I will just live the minor hum. I cannot hear it from my listening position and only hear it when changing records. Would be nice to have it be quiet but we cannot hav... | |

Found the following locally:Tenma 450 VA Isolation Transformer, Isolated Outlet (2): 450 VA Continuous, 550 VA Intermittent, Direct Outlets (2): 900 VA, Isolation Leakage: <0.1 mA, Dimensions: (W x H x D) 6 x 5 x 9 , Weight: 16 lbs, Power Requi... | |
| 3 preamps with transformer hum, DC on the line? So I am going to try an isolation transformer. I found one of the two new (returnable if it does not solve my problem): - Tripp Lite IS1000 in black (1000W) for preamp only - Tripp Lite IS1800HG (1800W hospital grade in off-white) looks like it is... | |
| 3 preamps with transformer hum, DC on the line? Jea48, thanks again for the info. Here are the preamp's specs:Output imp: < 20Power consumption: 6.5 wattsMax output voltage: 3.8 vWith the above specs, is there a cheaper EI power supply I can try? Or maybe I can put my amp on the same EI supp... | |
| 3 preamps with transformer hum, DC on the line? Jea48 and everyone else, I appreciate the answers and ideas. Yes, it is a toroidal transformer. Usually YBA, which made the Audio Refinement line does not use toroidal ones but they did for this line. And I think the Linn Classik does use an EI.I ... | |
| 3 preamps with transformer hum, DC on the line? BTW, the Linn Classik is part of my bedroom system with some Tukans and is not on a dedicated line and I have quite a few dimmers in the house. | |
| 3 preamps with transformer hum, DC on the line? So, I took the case off the preamp today and tightened all power supply screws (none really budged). Powered it up with every breaker turned off except my dedicated 20 amp AV line and only the preamp plugged into the dedicated outlet. Still hums -... | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? Sumaato, to sum things up, I would say the Cronus was good and the Pro-ject was "yeah, that's right" but not the best I've heard. The Pro-ject images so well will a big and musical sound stage plus has MM/MC and tube rolling options. I hope to go ... | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? Couple things to try (I use both with my Xpression III table): - ortofon MC-3 turbo (great fine line tracker with high output so you can use it with MM stages) - pro-ject phono tube box II (I demoed the rogue chronus magnum with the MM stage, both... | |
