No its one channel only, you want to reliably compare secondaries phasing, so two channels at least.
And the generator is ok?No its one channel only, you want to reliably compare secondaries phasing, so two channels at least.
Theoretically yes but who knows it's voltage and frequency precision or stability or adherence to 50 Ohm Zo modern gens standard.
Easiest no bench gear idea I thought of is use a PC as generator with 10k in series to the primary for as much signal it can manage to give out at 50Hz/60Hz and see with the DVM in what way there is AC voltage on paralleled secondaries. Correctly phased should give a reading while when in opposite polarities they should cancel. But I haven't tried that, you guys tell me if helpful.
Sweet! Thank you Sir.
When I get my r core, I will try with my laptop. I have a USB DAC headphone amp,
that should bump the ouput pretty high if laptop level itself is not high enough.

Up to 60C on the L-Adapter's sinks should be manageable. But it could be less. Two ECC83 in that phono box can't pull more than 600mA parallel heaters current. Or no more than 300mA if in series.
Thanks Salas, i tried it few minutes, only for quick test and sound seems more brilliant, but could be too soon..
Attached one picture of power supply, left section with L for Phono preamp and right for RPi, (step down windings of one secondary), i'm waiting for allo Digione.
Maybe i should rewiring the DC and put wires in left side instead centre, but apparently there's no noises.

A detail is move the yellow mains earth wire from the toroidal's screw, cut it much shorter, and fix it to one of the IEC's screws.
From IEC's earth pin to IEC's chassis screw = shorter wire = less inductance to pick field from the toroid
Blixa is an interesting nickname. Blixa was Nick Cave's guitarist in the Bad Seeds. The one they were getting drunk together on a boat in The Weeping Song video.
Good info Salas!
Currently sat listinenig to Lush radio through Moode.
L adapter powers Rpi and Reflector powers Hi Fi Berry Dac + Pro at 5v.
Using Ian isolator.
Sounds very good....I have a full Ian stack with fifo, dual dac, iv std etc. That too sounds amazing but the simplicity of this system now with just 2 power supplies is arguably more impressive for the modest cost and small chassis needed.

Ok, clear 🙂

Yes..i love Einsturzende Neubauten, Blixa is a fu*ing great madman 🙂
With Bad Seeds imho he gave their best, less powerfull and craziness than E.N. but more brilliant..ever imho..
Hi Jim, i don't use DAC hat in this RPi but only transport (i'm waiting for Allo Digione), DAC is an old Breeze audio with Sabre ES9018.. I changed a few components in it (capacitors, Opamp) and it's a good electronic, not recent but is a good chip in my end.Sorry for OT but @ Blixma....what DAC hat do you use and what powers it?

I used another L for a RPi in the second end (upstairs) with Moode like you, very impressive improvement.. I agree Jim
