My MP-1 pre-amp is powered by the BPT balanced power supply.
This simply means there is +60v coming in on the 'hot' wire, and -60V on the 'neutral' wire. This instead of the +120V/0V scenario.
If there is a short in one of the capacitors, and it blows the fuse on the 'hot' lead, would I still be getting shocked from the -60V from neutral to ground?
