Most common things to look for to lower the noise.
« on: Today at 02:42 am »
I'm considering putting a toroidal power supply into a Monster Power HTS5100 MKII, since I have to replace the ps on the main board anyhow.  Ideas?  Also, I've read that these power conditioners tend to muddy the sound, so I'm interested in cleaning it up.  Would that be possible by just buying better caps and relays?  I'm not opposed to making my own board and going all in, but I'm on a budget and I'd like to work with what I have.
Thanks

    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

EI or C core Transformers have less noise and iron loss than Toroidal transformers, but Toroidal cores are used because they are cheaper than laminated transformers.
Toroidal transformers work well at high power.
The original supply are damaged?
