Be very helpful if someone has such a thing - I'd be particularly interested in implementation as in Baby Reference with balanced XLRs and ground lifts. These are not the latest transformers, if this makes any difference.

Thanks!

Thanks Barry...no, those are the moving coil step up transformers they sell, TX103. A much simpler connection option than what I'm looking for....

Hi Nial

I have the TX102 trannys which were wired up for me by a friend who unfortunately has now died. If you have the wiring diagram I would very much like a copy for my records

Thanks Chris

Sorry Chris, only just seen this, but in any case it was Keith/Marra's point to these sources that sorted me out - all you need is on there.

Some pics of how mine turned out...

The front is slab rippled sycamore about twenty years old, the finish is violin varnish and ground. I used a star earthing system, a ground lift on the output, and the pair of Rhodium plated sockets on the back bypass the selector switch and go straight to the transformer input – this input can be isolated by using position 6 on the selector switch which has no connection to any inputs. All internal wiring is silver. Outputs are duplicated as I use one pair to power a pair of subs. I'm also running it at the plus 6db configuration - I thought it just had the edge in my system.

I'm extremely pleased with the sound - clear and just so much less hash and distortion than normal preamps.
