Hi Don,

I got to say this, and please accept it as constructive criticism – you’re shooting in the dark! You changed the power transformer, which changed the sound, and now you are trying all sorts of things to fix it. Your problem has to be associated with the difference between the two transformers. For example, perhaps the resistance of the high voltage winding is less in the new transformer than in the old one. I would start by making a list of all of the differences and then compensate for those differences one-by-one.

Another alternative would be to have your old transformer repaired. There are places in most metropolitan areas that will rewind motors and transformers. Look in your Yellow Pages.

Dave
