I got those same transformers,I removed the 4 caps [and power supply] connected them there and came off the secondary to rca plug gnd and the other to center,I have 2 100 R in series in the primary trans nothing in the outputs,I have a pc scope to 50 mhz no osc to there maybe sendler has a word on adding componets to the secondaries,I play mine often and no problems sound is good,you can run the sec through the relay if you get shut down or input switching noise. do run the rca's from the relay and remove the cap near the board rca's as it's on the output line too,

Happy Listening!

I discovered that a litlle hum that I hear in my speakers went away if I connected the negaitve output of the transfomer to the chassie.Now I wonder is it a goog idea to connect the transformer sheld to the chassie to?

I while back I wrote about my F5 amp that went in to oschillation when I connected i to my DAC (This DAC).
Last night I connected it again and it got HOT,I hear a little hum from my speakers,so I got this idea to ground the negative output of the output trafo,and the hum went away,and the amp has been stable for 12 hours now.
Why did it oschillate?
