I got another Cyrus Two that blows mains fuse. I suspect that the transformer is fried because the copper leads to the preamp rectifier are melted away and diodes are shorted. Most likely the secondary has some melts as well.
I consider my options:
1. get similar new transformer - 2x30V 300W = expensive
2. get two 30V 10.5A transformers, wire these in series and keep these outside in a box = 4 times cheaper
3. get smaller(less than 100W and maybe 2x12-15V - I don't think it has to be 30V - preamp needs 18V DC) transformer just for the preamp and build PSX with these 300W trannies(total 600W?) for the main amp
For me the third option sounds the most interesting since the original PSX(not the PSX-R) seems to be very simple device.
What do you think and what is the best way doing it(what parts to use and what improvements I could include)?
