Hi,
I'm building the old blue boards ( at last ).
I would just like to confirm, prior to ordering the transformer, if I should use 2x 18-0-18 or 2x 15-0-15?
And, if the center tap is needed or not?
Thanks!

15+15 four wires not center tapped
That and 1Ω 2W for Rd/Link resistors in the Raw supply board.

Hello Salas,
same trannies for the next group buy boards (2x15v / 1x30v)?
Are there any sonic drawbacks to be expected, if just using one transformer with two isolated secondaries?
Will order one or two custom made by Toroidy, as i have one in my Aleph build and am very pleased.
Many thanks

Two transformers vs one with two isolated secondaries maybe little more wider sounding. Little. Depends on the quality of the brand too. The better made the less the difference between two and one core. When custom made you can even order 32V to have better margin if mains ever go somewhat low in a region. You are not confined to off the shelf 15+15=30.
Does anyone have a leftover classic Salas Folded Simplistic Phono PCB for sale? I'm in need of a second MC phono pre 🙂
Hi Salas,
I am building/finalizing my green board Folded Simplistic Phono section together with the raw PSU (that I bougt some years ago), I have two toroidal transformers, each being 18+18V 30VA, what Rd/Link resistors should I use in the raw board, is adove information vallid, 18+18 need 27R 3-5W for my green board design?

Maybe refering to the blue FSP board? Yes, 27R 3-5W Rd will work for those 18+18 transfos.
Speaking about transformers, the FSP guide stated 30VA for each transforme for a dual transformers setup. For a single transformer with dual secondaries for the UFSP, would a 2x32V at 50VA be sufficient or should I opt for 60VA or even 80A? Thinking of saving a bit on space and cost, since I am going to build two of them.
Hello, does anyone still have the transistor sets available that i could buy for this phono?
I love the phono you have come up with and need to find the active devices

Hey, I would suggest you to ask tea bag for a kit of PCBs and transistors. If you really want to buy only the 2sk170s and 2sk369 you can drop me a pm. I got several matched pairs and quads on hand.

I have a full complement of parts for UltraFSP currently. Anyone can private message and I will give you more details as needed.
Yes. can make up the difference.
Let me know if your PP details are the same, and I can send invoice.
Otherwise send private message for update details.
