The VAC Standard tubed preamp power supply is in a separate metal canister. It has a huge transformer,and the case, even though sealed radiates a LOT of EMR.
How can i contain this? Crystals are not gonna do. Can I make an additional Faraday cage? and just have it a few inches bigger all around?
The Power supply has a long umbilical cord (for the preamp) and for good reason!!!
But i would like to cut all the stuff radiating in my system. So asking for assistance here.
The umbilical from this supply to the preamp is also the biggest EMR emmitter in my system! The cord is unshielded and i am also working on a way to either shield it, or something.
But the power supply is already in a sealed case, and so WHY?? is it radiate so much anyway?
I mean the power supply shoves a ton of energy into any metal object around it. If I place it near the metal rack, The entire rack is then radiating EMR!!

- Antistatic foam worked 100%, and did not harm sound like foil did. nt - Elizabeth 19:48:07 04/11/11 (0)
