I stay in region (India) where AC supply is 230V but all toroidal transformer are 115V , I want to make a power supply.
Is this transformer look good ? I never heard of this brand.

Can I give 230V 60Hz to this transformer?
Please someone help me , I never made a power supply myself
Please post a good photo of the transformer label and the transformer itself.

That will work, but at 30 VA that one has enough power to supply only one LM1875, if you are building a stereo amp you will need one of those for each channel, or get a transformer with a higher VA rating.

"Most" mass-market transformers today are dual-primary, 115V/230V.
The listing *says* 230V.
The Data Sheet shows the primary windings. Jumper Gry to Vio. Feed 230VAC to Blu and Brn.

Thanks a lots everyone .
Can I settle for this if I want stereo amp ?

I am not much on all the technical stuff but I thought that 50VA- 12v would be to small for a LM1875.
When I built my Chip Amp version several years ago I followed the link below and used a 160VA-18V trans. It might be a bit of overkill but it has worked fine for years.
Finally made a LM1875 amp

I just want clean 10w of power at max , then not a issue .12 volt windings are going to give around -/+ 17 volts DC or 34 volts in total. That's maybe not such a bad thing for a starter project and it would allow a modest output of around 12 to 15 watts RMS into 8 ohm.
It really all depends what you want from the project.
Now one thing , anyone can recommend me a good diode bridge ?
I always combined four 1N4007 as a kid but that not a good rectifier for audio I believe but fine to drive leds on school fest .
