Hey.
People are saying SIT 3 kicks but with 0.2% distortion.
So I might actually prefer it this way.

Bored Fluke

It's not bored; it's got that little lightning symbol on.

Planning to hookup the amp tomorrow, remeasure loaded supply voltages, maybe listen to some music.

Look at power supply noise on output of amp on FFT on Monday.

Doesn’t that mean to put your tongue across the probes.
Hahahaha

First test connected with powersupply - cooking away.
For the purposes of testing I am using the quick connect pcb mounted spades for powering the amp.
I will solder in later once I am happy.

Loaded supply Voltages
48.4 Vpp
Positive Rail 24.2V
Negative Rail: 24.2V

The transformer is dead as a door nail silent. Very happy with it.

A few more measurements.
AC Mains across primaries: 240.2 V rms
AC drop across ICL thermistor 2.7 V rms
