BoSoZ PSU Question

[Raoul]

I currently have a BoSoZ powered by one power supply board. The power supply is being fed by two toroids that I purchased from Apex Jr. They are rated at 28.4 volts (dual seondaries) at about 150VA.

I have a second power supply board already built. My question is: would it be beneficial to split each secondary of the transformers into two lines, giving an effective total of 4 secondaries per transformer, and power two seperate power supply boards with one transformer each?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

It wouldn't hurt your imaging, I reckon.

Thanks for the reply, eLarson. That's what I was thinking. I think the Avel transformers Nelson used were rated for 60VA total, so I figured that, at 150VA, these had enough juice behind them. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to run into some problem I didn't foresee...some of my electronics "expertise" is pretty crude.

Thanks again for the reassurance.

In terms of the size of the toroids, even 60VA is plenty big for a preamp. It is the isolation of the channels that might help a touch. Whether you hear it will depend on what happens in the amp, the speakers, the room, your ears, your mood. Stuff like that.

I'm working on the same thing right now. How would you wire the transformers and power supply boards? Would the Thermistors tie to the same ground point?
