Hi hennfarm,

You state:

"Jeff, if you can live with that transformer tower great."

Yes JH, once I mod the top cover, I can live with that. I think it is a great "DIY visual", and people who see it understand right away what was done.

"Have you considered going to a larger core outboard transformer? Or leave a single tx onboard and separating the analog pwr to a separate tx?"

Yes, I have considered that. Need to get a shop manual for that. This was just an EASY basic substitution and a "proof of concept" project, .....worked out well.

"I don't use any fancy wire but my CDP analog DC uses a over spec. Tx and fast diodes."

I've find wiring, ( type and amount in parallel) to transfer instantaneous PEAK energy, is important. I found ( on this CD player ), I had to redo ALL the wiring from the power cord through the secondary lead outs, to the plug into the CD player's circuit board, to get the full benefit.

I had to even "wire-out" the AC fuse, with a user-selectable "in-out" switch, as the AC fuse was impeding the dynamics that the triple trannies and good wiring was capable of bringing to the music playback.

My work-in-progress two stage SE prototype amp ( 12AY7 direct coupled to a triode-connected 6AQ5 ) is similarly wired. The overall result of both pieces together - is good.

"Fun stuff at any rate....JH"

Agree with you fully....thanks for commenting and posting. ... Jeff
