Post Subject: The power suppliesPosted by anthony on: 8/13/2015

At this stage I am looking at running the two 440V supplies from separate secondaries of the same transformer and likewise for the two 240V supplies. The guy that is making the transformers thinks this will be the most effective way for my particular scenario. So all up that will make 3 power transformers (440V + 240V + DHT420V) and two filament transformers. I will leave some room in there for later on just in case I want to add another DHT channel or two.

I am not sure how large to make the filter caps for the DHT channel. At this stage I think I will start at 3000uF and perhaps try altering it a little up or down once the system is stable.

On another point, I got to Sydney a couple of weeks ago and listened to Tax's 'Koshka' Melquiades running a heavily modified AG horn system. I did enjoy my visit and am now quite confident that the Melquiades will suit my objectives. Of course this is a few hours listening in a new room but I heard a lot of things that I like.
