Hi, as I'm pretty new to audio equipment and power supply building, I thought I would ask you a couple questions about how you do it regarding safety and certifications.
Regarding power supplies:
For you without formal electronics education, how do you do it?
While I'm pretty confident I coud get it right (the first time
), I also have quite a bit of respect for high power applications, having seen some (non-audio) faulty equipment.
My other question is regarding grounding. Most (all?) the amp designs I have looked at connects to the mains ground. As I am in the unfortunate situation of not having grounded outlets, I was wondering if anyone have any comments on that ?(Considering that the amps was designed with grounded mains
in mind)
As I said, I am confident enough in my skills (haveing built some low-power equipment) to know I can make it work, but I still want a second opinion.
Regards,
Stein

- Do you take your chances, knowing you did a good job?
- Do you build it, then get it checked by someone with formal education (engineer)?
- Do you leave it to someone with formal education, detailing parts and layout?
