Shame. I was hoping to use the Bushmaster with my TVC preamp (that uses Stevens and Billington TX102 transformers, - same as in the Music First TVC preamp). I guess I will have to use one of my active preamps instead. Its a shame as the TVC is the best sounding preamp I've got.Originally Posted by Clive

If it's less than 1mV then maybe it won't. I would bet that a lot of kit leaks that amount of DC. But I don't know what level it takes to magnetise our S&Bs.

Thanks for that. Better try to find out how much DC it takes to magnetise the TX102!.

sorry to go off topic...but when can we expect the bushmaster?
I have an itch that needs to be scratched and starting to look around

Would a 100uF + NP cap (or whatever value is appropriate to the circuit) on the output really wreck the sonics?
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

Glad it's immanent.
This is tremendously long thread, are the Bushmaster specs still as declared at it's start?

What about putting a cap of whatever value between amp and speakers to block any DC offset inherent in amplifiers? Would it have a detrimental value? And has the DC offset voltage from anyone's amp ever demagnetized or magnetized anyone's speakers?

Stan, I wasn't trying to bait you, but sometimes, I feel "we" get a bit too anal about things that either make no audible difference in practice, or make such a tiny difference as to not being worth bothering with.
I don't mean to instigate yet another ruck, but coupling caps seem to have come a very long way over the years, valve amps rely on them and my recent experiences of Muse fine gold and BP caps has been nothing less than positive, despite their low cost.
Oh alright, I'm missing the whole point - apologies all
