    Pass?


    More likely a valve power amp if you need 750v.

    I don't think Oliver has progressed to 750V projects (yet?)

    It's 750 VA.

    It going to back a Balanced Mains Unit. Made into an old BT distribution block. Nothing fancy, just working and doing a good job hopefully!

    In an unexpected move, I found a whooshing noise on my rig and put it down to some sort of electrical problem somewhere but by chance yesterday, I remover the powerline adapter for the Internet and the background whoosh disappeared. Further experiments today have shown that the more things I turned off around the house, the better my noise floor has got SO looks like a BMU may be ideal.

    Toroidal came from Airlink for £77 and a couple of 10A MCB for £4. The BT box is a gift so I may have quite a good solution for under £100!!
