In Reply to: RE: Resistor before or after the X2 capacitor when wired in series? posted by Ugly on July 30, 2016 at 09:35:58:
I could place the varister before the isolation transformer and slow the in-rush current or I could place it between the transformers output and the AC receptical and slow the in-rush current there. I'm inclined to slow it prior to the transformer. Though I don't want to create a "choke point" or current limiting, though it may be unavoidable. Is there an optimal place, to your line of thinking and is there an educated guess as to how its presence will effect the sound in the end?
