Anal is OK. !!In my mid 2015 Type 45 prototype, I used doubled-up 12 AWG ( 9 AWG ) to wire my 120 VAC ALL THE WAY INTO THE PRIMARY WINDING OF THE Power Transformer- took off end bells and replaced lead outs.
Now, I have added a switch to SHORT out my turn-on Thermistor, and Safety Fuse, so its OUT of the circuit for what I call " attended listening ".
Its about a 7 % subjective DEGRADE when I have the fuse and turn-on thermistor in the AC path, on ALTEC speakers, A-7 and A-4s. On a LSES supply, being SOURCE FED, ( not a lot of excess L and C storage ), its the way I like to listen, henceforth.
The A-4 user, presently using my Type 45 amp prototype, ONLY will listen to his audio with my amp switched into the "attended" position when I am not there, 'just sounds better ...'more FUN.
Have fun.
