One of the three will be incoming AC for the whole amp. Try that one first.@millercarbon, that is exactly the question I wanted answered because I remembered you saying ’just try one’ on Agon somewhere but you never said where a single ’boutique’ fuse to try should be put in the power chain.
That is a very special Pure Class A amp.@grannyring, it sure is. I think I got lucky with this one as it was custom made for Al Kaglik of Hi Fi Art a Clayton distributor in Canada that was for sale for over 2 years and for some reason was still available when I had the funds to purchase.
the amp is perfect cosmetically and operationally. There were no subsequent upgrades to the amp — it didn’t need any. It was built this way from the factory with the heavy duty power supply like in the M-200. In fact, if I take more pictures, you will see the M-200 badge on the amp signifying this…
And the above was verified by Wilson with a serial number check. So in effect, I ended up buying a Wilson Shen in house over built Clayton S40 beast! For about half the original cost in almost new condition as Al didn’t hardly use it.
GR, I follow this blog and ’steal’ as many audio ideas I can from you. For example yesterday wolf, with the help of wig, sold me a used 8ft helix speaker cable pair for half the price of a new set with:
- 2 x 14 gauge UP-OCC wires for the signal wire
- (1 or 2?) x 10 gauge Mil-Spec wires for the neutral
- KLE Innovations Banana plugs
