In Reply to: Re: 2-box ss power amp ... what's the recommended "split"?? posted by EchoWars on March 11, 2005 at 23:04:21:

nice to know there is a good reason to choose #1 ... that's what I (as someone with no EE knowledge) had thought would be best.

However, can you possibly explain:

* why "getting the rectifier bridge away from the rest of the amp" is a good thing? I can understand why keeping the transformers away from the amp modules is a good idea but what "interference" does the rectifier bridge create?

* what good does "adding a bit of capacitance inside the main amplifier box ... something like 20% of what is at the external PS box" do?

Thanks,

Andy
