Cambridge DAC magic 3 transformers

andydextrous · 25th September 2007, 01:49 PM

Hello, I left my Hi-fi on over the weekend and came home to find my DACmagic 3 dead. The transformer primaries are all open circuit (suspect the thermal fuses). Can any one tell me the transformer ratings i.e O/P voltages, so I can get replacements. Thanks, Andy

I'll open mine up tonight and check.

Looks as if my transformers on my 2i have gone too. Anybody out there who could measure the O/P voltages? Puffin?

tankertop. I have just seen your post. I don't log in much these days. Are we talking the old style DM here or the new small box version?

If the former I can measure the voltages on a working DM.

Hi Puffin

Yup, it's the old style DacMagic. Assistance much appreciated!

Will do it later or first thing tomorrow.

Hi there,
If it's Dacmagic 2 with 3 EI trafo's they are 15-0-15v each. Remember wanting to replace them for toroids at one stage. Never gor round to it...

Thanks for the info. It's only taken three years to get the reply I needed, but it is still appreciated. Andy
