  1. You can always go for Carbon as the reference. It made the difference between 009 and 95x a lot smaller for me. You can use the power supply for Carbon with the GG which has tube output devices(similar to BH), so you can have two amps with different flavors for the total cost of a little bit more than for only Carbon, or only GG. This is what i have done in my system. 

    I have also built SRX which pairs nicely with 009, but Carbon/GG are my favorites.

  2. While i had 727II with SR-009, SS Dynalo with HD800 was getting most of the playing time. After getting the the RME and its parametric EQ, the SR-009 almost got sold as i did not really see the point of owning it. If i did not find the SRX+ and decided to build one for myself, they would probably be gone already.  Bought 95x locally and for cheap, decided to use it for backup and testing. HD800 took a step back to the SR-009. After that i got an itch and decided to build the Carbon. Now i generally use the 95x. Carbon removed a good part of that gap and they are a lesser pain in the ass somehow. I think i need the 007s..

    Apologies for the noob questions in advance. Specifically for the Mini T2 PSU, are there recommended off the shelf 120VAC toroidals for use with this project? Or is everybody custom ordering, if so what exact specifications and suppliers recommended? 

    I assume folks are building a separate boxed PSU with two toroidals for high/low voltage. If that’s the case, will you be potting them or not necessary? Anybody planning a single box solution for PSU and Amp or best practice not to do this, mitigate hum/noise etc.

    Many Thanks.

    you can find some more info in this thread:

    about trafo specs:

    More 70s funk fusion -- anyone familiar with this genre?  I'd love to hear some more recommendations of titles to look up.  I'm familiar with the important titles of fusion -- Al Di Meola, Return to Forever, Jeff Beck, Billy Cobham -- but less familiar with this stuff.  I've been really digging it so far!

     

     something like this?

  5. Hm, it looks there was something else also causing the noise issues. Trafo itself was buzzing. I have removed the cover, now there is no noise on the trafo and seems that i cannot hear any noise on the headphones.. I will try again in the morning when there is no noise in the house but i think now it is silent. As i saw some scratch marks on the inside of the cover, it looks like the bolt was touching the cover and possibly making a shorted turn. Or i moved some wires and now it is magically better. Or both.
