If you'd actually read the original post, you'd see that the power supply will be used for a reclocker, which is a steady-state device. Since you don't know what that means, it means that if the reclocker needs 500mA to operate, it will use 500mA at idle, and will use the same 500mA if you're at decibel levels that would blow the windows out of the house. A larger transformer would do absolutely nothing to improve the sound, and if anything would probably degrade the sound due to its radiated EM field being in closer proximity to the rest of the circuit. Sorry that your "bigger is always better" nonsense fails again.

If a bigger transformer can cure the dt's as bcowen suggested in Central, I'm sure it would also be appropriate in this situation also. It is a virtual certainty that I never said always. Most of the time or at the very least very often is my position. Looks like it might be too big in this situation from an EMI point of view??? The fact that you brought up the IMPOSSIBILITY of a bigger transformer manifesting an improvement in this steady state situation implies a possible improvement in a non steady state situation from a larger than "necessary" transformer. Thanks for the validation. EMI is only one factor. If you have never actually compared a larger transformer in a steady state application you can't say 100% for sure it doesn't sound better. T456

Not to mention a larger transformer's decidedly un-pipsqueaky tendency to pass mains-borne noise to the circuit and vice versa.
