Biggest improvement I have ever obtained In the power supply chain was when I purchased a 240:240 isolation transformer on a local audiophile trading site. It is an industrial unit with at least 750W capacity. The improvement to digital playback is quite obvious. Just a layer of hash removed and improved clarity. This thing even works wonders on my Robertson power amp, which is a great surprise, since any previous forms of power conditioning on amplifiers have proved counter productive. Its use with other power amps has proven unsuccessful. Probably due to its limited capacity. |
Is this the 1260 paste that was being referred to earlier as an alternative to Total Contact and preferred over Total Contact by (at least) one person here?: STK-1260-650 Brazing Paste, 1 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003I16Q5Q/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_glt_fabc_3ERKJET95J9MEPRTH7PN https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003I16Q5Q/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_glt_fabc_3ERKJET95J9MEPRTH7PN Thanks. |
I purchased a 240:240 isolation transformer on a local audiophile trading site. 750W capacity Yes, I believe this is the first intelligent thing you’ve said, as noise does not jump the gap of an isolation transformer, because primary and secondary areI believe air gap isolated from each other. They’re only good for source equipment, as none are big enough for big amps. (You need rating of at least 20A) Now say you’ve got 100w+ power amp on it, and you’ll be back in the dummy seats. As 750w is only 3amps, and you’ll see far more than that going into speakers with a sample/hold/scope, especially big dynamic peaks, I’ve seen 60amp peaks, and it’ll saturate the isolation tranny, and cause dynamic compression. |
