Perreaux toroidal transformer replacement
My e160 power amp has amplifier hum and was told the transformer needs replacement. Does anyone know where to purchase one? Seems like if I can do this for a reasonable price it would be less than buying an equivalent one. Link to owner's manual: https://cms.perreaux.nz/products-archive/user-manual/e160_manual.pdf. Thanks, Joel

Hum as in from the speakers or hum from the amplifier itself? Either way I don't think transformer replacement is the answer.

Did you read through the owner's manual Chapter 12 Faultfinding Your System? It talks a lot about hum and the causes of it! Interesting read. But did not mention replacing the transformer.

Either way I don't think transformer replacement is the answer.

Also sceptical that the transformer is the cause, yes need clarification as to whether hum through spkrs or from transformer itself. Helpful if you measured the frequency of the hum, ap like spectroid can measure or load into pc freeware audacity

How long have you had it and have you made any changes to the setup? Could be interference or a ground loop. In my experiance, hum through speakers, if an actual amp issue, is more likely to be a capacitor issue in the amps power supply. Who told you it was the transformer?
