    My first thought came about by thinking i'd seen something in the reflection on the picture. Then on saving the picture, so as to let me zoom in and investigate, I noticed the image name "trannies". Then, upon zooming, and with very high tech image reconstruction software I noticed the reflection! Is this none other than Isaac himself?

    You're trying some bizarre experiment to mutate black puddings by subjecting them the Electro Convulsive shock treatment, then breed the bastardised off-spring to create a race of Ninja Assassin toroidal transformers in a sinister plot to wipe out the Salisbury crew...mwuhhuhaaa...mwuhhuhaaa :JOEL:

    ...or you're building an amp.

    Easy, you're experimenting with an exotic method of keeping doughnuts warm until they're ready for consumption.

    Your making bionic breast implants.

    Duh, that was a bit easy.

    You've bought something from the states and you are converting it to 240v

    I'll give you a clue, think along the lines of Mr theroy's musings, and throw in the term 'More Balls' :D

    An external PSU for a power amp (or three) perhaps?

    That's what I spend my days working on...

    As for the other replies, awards will be given.... :p

    It's pretty obvious what I'm doing, and a few of you have hinted at it (or said it straight out), in that it's going to be an amplifier. I've a few cunning ideas, but have yet to decide for sure on what I'm going to do, whether a class A (mmmm, warm), AB or a digital of some form. However, what is the case is that I'm intent on giving it two transformers per channel (360VA per transformer (rated... I've measured more)) and obviously the power supplies will live separate to the audio circuits. I have also a few ideas on how to build an elegant casework for it (elegant structurally... it will be a box...), and potentially use no (or very small) PCBs. Certainly I intend to case-mount all output devices (since the heatsink will be an integral part of the case structure).

    I'll keep you all posted throughout the project. In the meantime, I will be undertaking a few mods on a superDAC I hope...

    Is this going to be based on your own design or another design tweaked to your preference?

    Good luck either way :D

    If you're running two trannies per channel and are going to do so in dual differential topology, may I suggest that you look into the effects of power supply ripple. I'm aware that Class T modules inject a lot of noise into the psu. As a result, you'll see them run off a single transformer (except in the Veritas implementation which was cack). I don't know how relevant this is for other classes of amp design, but an advantage of balanced topologies is presumably greater psu load stability.

    handing over to the experts now...
