DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA
What about trying a 3000 microfarad 200v non polar cap in series with your line to block dc if there is any. Also if the line cord is flipped over (left prong on the right) shouldn’t the buzz move to the other transformer? Otherwise I’d think you should be able to see the offset at the box with a VOM. IMO you have a faulty unit that Mcintosh should replace. |
tomiiv30 OP21 posts01-05-2019 12:47pm It is an amp that is 14,000 watts so it is sensitive to DC being present in the lines.I think you meant 1400 watts. He said it has to either be the electrical coming from the pole or something within your house that is introducing DC in the AC of the lines ie. Faulty/poorly designed dimmer switch or something similar. So it is certainly not the amp or us, it is something going on at his specific home. It could be something as little as 1 volt of DC that can cause this issue." No,.... there’s nothing wrong with the AC power in your home. You measured for DC offset on the AC mains using your DMM and measured 0.9mv. You measured for DC offset exactly as McIntosh told you to do it. Exactly! tomiiv30 OP21 posts01-05-2019 10:40amChuck is the man, he should know. He is McIntosh’s expert on the subject. You followed his instructions to the letter. Can’t get any simpler than that. There is nothing wrong with the AC power in your home. The power transformer in the amp is defective. Period! . |
