Hi,
My new phono pre has a hum issue. It is seriously helped by moving the board away from the R core transformer I installed in it.
Unfortunately I dont have enough room in the box to get it far enough to not cause trouble, so I'm thinking of putting it in a seperate enclosure.
I therefore need to bring 5 wires from the transformer box, to the preamp:
- 2 for 230VAC
- 2 for 14VAC
- 1 for gnd
What sort of cables and connectors do you use when faced with this kind of situation ?
I was thinking DIN or XLR and a suitable 5 conductor cable
Cheers

Make sure both the cable and connectors are rated for use at 230VAC.
It's unlikely that a DIN or XLR connector will be.

That is my point exactly, I'm looking for the right kind of plug and socket.
I figure this thread would be better in the power supply section, but have no idea how to close this one or move it

Are you running the AC line voltage from the wall outlet to the pre-amp and then to the transformer?
And then the secondary 14VAC back to the pre-amp?
