- I recently boxed-in my all-purpose power supply with thin panels of wood, in order to protect the cats, and run my 432 amp. Just prior to the box-in, I ran my 8877 6M amp at 4200 volts idle, and 3800

- Barrie, Your clue is the hum. Check all the filter caps for the HV supply. My guess is that's the problem. Best, Will ** REPLY SEPARATOR ** On 4/19/06 at 6:52 PM Barrie Smith wrote: _________________

- Like Peter, I would suspect one of the diode stacks has gone open circuit. If it was the filter capacitors, the hum would be 120Hz. If it was the cat, the hum caused by purring is modulated at a lowe

- Peter, He said though, "60 cycle?". He isn't for sure what the frequency of the hum is. With one diode open, you would essentially have a half wave power supply only conducting on every cycle. If you

- It could be either 60 or 120 Hz. What is usually called hum are the harmonics, not the fundamentals, since our hearing is much more sensitive to the higher frequencies, 400 to 1000 Hz or so. 60 Hz an
