Post Subject: The high voltage input chokes and the snubbers.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/8/2008
Yes, Jim, thanks. It is what I thought. I have some “pure” ringing at 440V line as well. After consulting with 5 creditable people I desided to discard the problem. Since the choke on it’s another side gives a perfect sinusoid with no spikes or distortions of any kind I would close my eyes on the input ringing. I will test how mach the “ringing” goes back to transformer primary and for now I would not worry about it. When I will have the amp “soundable” I will test the 440V line listening is the elimination of the “ringing” affect sound ( I will try to use CR resonator at choke’s input or to use another parallel chokes). If killing the ringing will not affect sound I will keep everything as is now. Interesting that I was trying toroidal and regular chokes and have the same ringing result – the high voltage is apparently is the key. BTW, did you detect of a RC snubbers affect sound? I really do not want a bridge to see anything besides an inductor…
