I am constructing the Compactron amp. I've started with the power supply. I have all my wires and capacitors hooked up, but not soldered. I have not added the 0.47uf capacitors since the parts list said they were not necessary....are they?
I will be grounding this unit using the "Star Grounding" technique. Using the schematic from November of 2008 I see the first ground coming off of the center tap then the ground (center tab) continues until it hooks up with the B+....is this correct? I planned on having the B+ go to a transfer strip (with the positive at one end and the center tap ground at the other). Then hooking up my audio channel. This leads to another set of questions.....most importantly is the power transformer strong enough to handle two channels?
Thanks,
Mike
