Success!!! You guys are the BEST!!




As you can see on the multimeter, a rock solid 18v DC coming from the correct place on the power supply board. I fiddled with the pot to get the voltage right on the money and it stayed there for about 10 minutes without moving aside from a quick 17.99 showing up occasionally, but that's probably because everything is just placed there.

A great big thanks to everyone who helped me despite my attempts to blow myself up. Especially jea48A, Stereojim and bcowen. You all have a cold beer or some home-made mead waiting for you if you ever come down to Miami Beach. You can come too, Awe-d-o-file. :)

Now I can start working on the stuff at which I am good, building a cool enclosure. Would there be any advantage to sticking this in its own enclosure and connecting via an umbilical to the phono preamp? Maybe not, but it would sure look cool. Although I did see that the transformer comes with a metal plate and a rubber gasket. This seems like some kind of anti-vibration thing. That can't be good inside the same chassis as the pre-amp. Right?

I'm going to send Jason a little "layman's drawing" to include with the power supply in case another electrical dummy like me wants to do this.
