RE: Need some electrical help.

Did you buy the Triad magnetics transformer vpt30-1670 as suggested? The Boozhound instructions say that you need 15 volt AC secondary voltage. According to the transformer datasheet, to obtain 15 v AC, twist black and orange together, and twist red to yellow. The voltage between the black/orange and red/ywllow pairs should be 15v AC. Do you have a multimeter to check voltage? If so, do so. If not, I would suggest that you get an inexpensive voltage meter - if you are going to do any DIY audio, it is something you need. If you wire the transformer secondaries in series, you will have 30v AC, likely too much voltage - it will damage the voltage regulator. Wire them in parallel, and you should be fine. Good luck! Let us know how your project comes out - I'm sure others might also be interested in the Boozhound designs!
