eros hum and sound quality

[mkontor]

I don't doubt that one bit!
Additional to my note in the box, I think it might be wise to fit a 110v transformer as the one that's in there runs very hot, and I can use a step down transformer, not a bad thing as it provides some  filtering.

Could you please somehow send me the instructions as I do seem too have lost this...

The transformer voltage has no effect on the heat; the lower voltage transformer takes twice the current so it makes the same heat.

And yes, the Eros transformer does run fairly hot. That's because it has a lot of turns, to minimize the stray magnetic field and any mechanical vibration or buzzing.

Well actually I knew that, somewhere in the back of my mind....

Dan et al - I have found the instruction CD so no need to send again

The Eros had arrived at yours...

PB should be in the lab today and will have a look at it.

 

[mkontor]

I would prefer to be contacted by email michaelkontor (at) bigpond (dot) com rather than on here.

Dan - no progress yet?

 

[Doc B]

We are incredibly busy this week, but PB has been working on it. There was some shipping damage, it appears that a part or two is somewhat melted from the soldering iron during construction, etc. and he is working to get it into condition to be able to test it.

Just let you know I was able to measure the pioneer head...impedance is 250 at 100Hz, inductance is 170....mike
