Balanced line mains

I would like to request a trial of the the NVA BMU unit if that is possible my MK 1 A80' amps are pretty quiet most of the time so i am thinking the undoped unit would be the place to start .

PM or email Terry Booth and arrange for it to be collected from him when he is ready to part with it.

Ok Doc will do thank you ! very much appreciated

No problem. Depending on where you are, collection is probably the best option (it's a heavy thing).

I am really struggling finding (single not dual) 15 amp BS546 sockets without a switch. I want to avoid the switch if possible so may have to make that socket a no go for the BMU unless any of you know of any around. Schuko is nearly as good and better than 13 amp BS4573 so that may end up the only alternative. There must be a source for BS546 somewhere as it is still used in India and S Africa.

I have seen a few in the UK, but they were fancy chrome and £20 a pop.

Expensive

PM sent!

Are these them? 15a socket

[slinger]

The cheapest I can find them, so far. http://www.discount-electrical.co.uk/pr ... socket-15a

Thanks for the help on sockets. I am trying to avoid hospital white plastic sockets unless I can find nicer looking, though MK are obviously very well made.

ALSO can you keep me updated where the dem BMU is, has it moved on yet, is it moving on and when, ta!

He also I understand didn't even know what we are talking about so he seems to think this is hum through the speaker - pure ignorance, we have discussed it so many times, it is lazyness not to read the archive on the subject. PLEASE NOTE - this noise is the transformer acting as a transducer and making the noise itself acoustically it is not system noise !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure where you thought I was referring to noise through the speakers, my query was about the transformer and the unit itself. Others have however answered this sufficiently for me to the effect that it does make a noise but not to the extent that it interferes with their listening, or that it works sufficiently well that noise from their other components is reduced and thus listening enjoyment is improved for them.

I used to use a laptop in my listening room and whilst the fan couldn't be heard when music was playing I knew it was there because it was audible when no music was played. Agree this would not be system noise, but is a noisy thing in the listening environment all the same so it had to go.

I'm just a bit fussy when it comes to things in the listening room which make any sort of noise other than the music intended. Indeed when the house is quiet at night I can even hear the dials on the electric meter in the hallway turning around.
