No transformer is completely silent. However, you have to stick your ear to the case to hear the hum!
It's running much cooler than the other supply, only getting warm on the side that's bolted to the enclosure. Not totally cool like the switcher, obviously... I took the top cover off and touched the transformer and it was quite warm after 24 hours of "burn-in". I also found the output drifted to 5.04 volts. I readjusted it to exactly 5 volts again. I have to stop worrying about this and leave it alone! -- crooner Squeezebox 3 with DIY Linear Power Supply Lite Audio DAC60 tube DAC Pioneer SX-1980 Vandersteen 2Ce Signature Vandersteen 2W ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crooner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3379 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21505 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
