well, after a few years of procrastinating, i ordered a torroid balanced power transformer from plintron and a chassis from an acquaintence into which i could install the transformer. this is based on an article in secrets found here that i stashed away years ago. there are other torroid transformer companies, but plintron has a good rep (i think that bryston sources from them) and they're canadian to boot
i hooked the first one up last night. i plan on getting two, and then feeding the front end with them, each on a seperate 15A dedicated circuit. this, along with the 15A dedicated to the rear speakers/amps gives me 45A dedicated to the system. there is no way i am pulling that of course, but the headroom is nice.
because i installed only one of them, i only have the left CLS on this, but even so i recognized a definate increase in the SNAP of the kickdrums (Collective Soul, 2nd album/Frankie Goes to Hollywood, 1st album) and the tailing out of the transients (Gilberto-Getz, Girl from Ipanema). very sweet indeed. i look forward to hooking up the other transformer and installing the two seperate 15A circuits that will supply them (the front end is sharing a single dedicated 15A circuit right now).
