Re: Hagerman Technology Cornet Phono Preamp

Thanks again!
I noticed you tinned the tips of the Audiocap leads. Any problem getting them thru the holes in the PCB? I had to cut a lot of 'threads' away and twist them to get them on the Bugles PCB. Looks like the holes are bigger on the Cornet board.

The leads on the Auricap looks tinned from desoldering. When I was installing them, I noticed the incompatibility of the wires and holes as well. What I did is I stripped the lead and leave a portion of the wire insulation. From there, I twist the insulation and in turn twist the wires making it smaller. It worked!

Do you have pictures of the wiring of the transformer?

Not at the moment but I could take a picture for you if you want.

You say the manual was very clear up to wiring the transformer. Could the manual have been clearer in that regard? I made a mess of wiring the Bugle so that is where I am coming from. With some help I got it right but all I would have needed at the time were clear pictures like those you posted.

The PCB has all the terminals for the transformer wiring marked. On the primary, there's a table to follow for choosing the input voltage you desire (i.e. 110, 120, 240V, etc.). On the secondary, you just follow the color scheme of the wires plugged into the corresponding mark terminals.

cheers
