Dear Romy, regarding your efforts to solve variations in mains power supply, there has been an interesting thread on RAT related to the use of toroids as power transformers that morphed into a discussion about the level of DC offset in mains power su...

Romy,I already send money to Pieter for OTP transformers. Now I need power transformers and chokes.This is Pieter propose: (He look at the schema)2 x power supply transformer - 12,6V/5A - 6,3V/1A2 x ...

To keep with Romy's spirit of sharing his work, I have attached a file of VER 1.0 of the DSET Power Supply. There are quite a few differences to Romy's published schematics but it is basically the same beast. You will notice a lot of power transfor...

Yesterday my machinist informed me that the End of Life Phonostage’s chassis will be reedy next week. So, I desisted update the power supplies of the thing replacing the FRED diodes with those no reverse/forward recovery Silicon Carbide Schottky diod...

As all the parts for the full range Melquiades are making their way to meet me,I'm faced with the need for a 12v-5v service power supply (fan , hour meter, LEDs ).How to approach the issue ?1.buy regulated switched (and cheap) power supply and be don...
|
|
DA, I would not use any switched power supply, not to mention that they do not need to be regulated for LEDs, relays and fans. I do not know if you build a full range Milq or more complicated multi-channel version. If it is a full range Milq with onl...

I was looking into the power supply situation with my DAW and was wondering what viable options exist out there. Currently, I am using an internal 600w pc power and cooling unit. Apparently there arent many out there. One I found wa...

[quote user="manisandher"] The only advantage I can see really is in the dedicated power supply... possibly. [/quote]
The subject of power supply in computers that run sound is complicated subject and frankly I never heard anyone talk about it...

I was asked for more information on my power supply regulator, which allows the original 100V power line (Japan) to be plugged directly into a 120V line (US), while greatly smoothing the ripple going to the motor.

|
|
[quote user="hagtech"] It's difficult for me to guess exactly what the possible sonic effects of the ripples would be. I see a tube operating at a fixed point, having a particular distortion spectrum. Say -42dB 2nd harmonic. Then, t...

I was playing with new power supply over this weekend, trying to optimize everything. First I got rid of bleeders at all B+ - it has enough critical current with them according to my measurements after the bride. All supplies after the first ...

Those who flow what is going on with my 6-Ch Milq know that for sniggle driver stage I this revision I went what for non-electrolytic capacitors. I use a mandatory for me input choke with 200uF on PS side and then 100R and 100uF on the amps side to g...

Here is a semi-final draft of 6-chennals Melquiades Power Supply. Since I use my site pretty much as a notebook would like to have the diagraph posted in this thread for my personal references.

[quote user="drdna"] If you were using, for example, the Kron KR 2A3, you would not be commenting on the sluggish liquid sounds, and it would be very much more competitive with the Melquiades I am sure of it. Adrian[/quote]I doubt swapping...

Hi Romy,I am building a modularizable version of the Melquiades (i.e. it is full range, but one can add more channels to it) and therefore wish to have the power supply in a separate enclosure. This raises two questions:1. From what you say, points M...

I am looking for a good external power supply for ATX motherboard and Sotm pci to usb card.i need 12v, 3.3v , 5v, -12v , 9vsometimes i think if i use CEC TL0-X power supply it may help but i did not measured it's output voltage.CEC TL0-X has 4 transf...

[quote user="cv"]You may wish to apply similar tactics to the power supply (low DCR inductors) if you want to be really surprised...[/quote]What do you mean, Chris?
I usually use my input chokes 4-5 times of critical inductance and twice of rated cu...

Hi All,Can anyone please help me with this?I have a client who has a Lavry Da924 and someone before him has heavily modified the power supply board.Could someone please help me identify the 4 requlators in the picture along with the power supply boar...
|

Depending on the UseCase, many things can influence the sound. Rectifiers, snubbers, impedance, corner frequency, speed, an inductor in series, regulation, isolation from the mains grid all are parameters to consider.I do not know of any really serio...

[quote user="N-set"] You always repeat that you do not listen to the power supply thanks to your "isolating" PS philosophy.This is a super attractive thing worth all the blood, sweat and tears! But then at the same time some disturbing notes come tha...

Two Questions:1) Would it be difficult to replace the switching supply with an external linear supply. You could even get an adjustable one and play with the voltage.2) I have emailed PP three times whether their units can accept 120V balanced power....

I usually do not cruse across DIY forums unless someone folks about me. Here it was - at some Russian DIY site they translated my article “6C33C survival guide” that made me to see what they have in there. One article from their site attracted my...

Dear Romy,The UPS units are being used in their normal way, as line interactive. The voltage waveform supplied by the Powerware 5115 is a sine wave. This is described briefly in the manual and was important information for me pre-pur...

Peter, I wish I had more confidence in the amp's power supply as significant proof against the full range of AC power nasties. In fact, I have long had the sense that there is such a thing as "over-regulation" where hi-fi power suppli...
|
|
Rowuk,I think that is a good thought. I think power supplies are an afterthought to most audio designers or they think about it in simplistic terms such as bigger is better. I hate to confess this in a public forum but I have found better sonics resu...

That's a whole lotta Bidat you've got there, Romy. By contrast, I'm guessing the 1-box iDAT-44+ (not including its wall wart) is smaller than the box pictured above with the torroidal tranny in it. The torroidal tranny inside my...
|
|
Dear Romy,It may be worthwhile to check what transformer is installed in your DA924 because Lavry did change over to torroid transformers from the laminated core power supply transformer. Also it is a good practice to periodically ship the...
|
|
Romy, would you mind elaborating on specifics of your power supply? My Bidat is going to John in a couple of weeks and I am finalizing my thoughts. Thank you....
