Can TS also state the price of each component?
Might want to do this for my speaker as turning it on and off will give a pop or BOOOOMM!! or... does it have to do with my speaker's Amp circuit instead? hmm.gif

Good thing you found out the design is wrong early. Might go kaboom taking your audio rig with it laugh.gif

Actually not the computer's PSU alone, the rig is sharing power with the router, phone, modem, tube amp, list goes on. Even turned off and unplugged there will be buzzing present (although not as sever as when the computer is on). Simple solution given would be pulling the grounding all the way out to the backyard into a buried pole. See how things will go, but otherwise I'm not so bothered with the buzzing/humming.

It won't kaboom with this kind of error tongue.gif
I never had experience with grounding. A lot of people says they get noise from grounding. Not sure if its bad or better.
Some people will settle their ground using special way I never research what it that.

I don't know the price as well as i bought together with other things so its lesser expenses. The most expensive part is WIMA 1000v 1uF, around 5 times expensive than 20mH common mode choke
The pop isn't the current's problem IMO. A not-so-well designed component will produce this kind of sound.

Currently no, i thought people always prefer prebuilt power socket + filter hmm.gif But comparing to those big power conditioner this is much better than them since you can choose the CMC suitable for your component like higher inductance for DAC.

GOOD. Now that TS has scratched that itch of going DIY and "boutique" components, why don't he go ahead and ABX his baby with off-the-shelf unit like I suggested in the previous thread. He'll be very surprised how little/non-existent difference in sound "boutique"/Audiophool components make other than make the snake-oil traders rich.

why u so comfirm that boutique components make no/very little difference? did u do the experiment with measuring devices? mind posting the pics? tongue.gif

Spending in filter,even its luxury or waste its ok for me, since i learn something but i cannot accept invest too much on power cord or power cable shakehead.gif

makes a difference, measurable if you do the following:

1) high speed
2) high performance

Unfortunately:

1) Boutique components often have "shittier" specs.
2) You can't possibly tell the difference unless your hearing is better than a 100k USD spect analyzer.

new update..
now uses silver plated occ as conductor
removed the pcb because the big capacitor, the soldering cream almost touch the screw, which connects 115VAC to ground.
another reason is the big capacitor can't go through the hole

just changed a new soldering head.. the quality darn good like changed a new high quality soldering kit drool.gif this is my first project that solders so nicely.

removed the Y-capacitor to follow the genuine felix design whistling.gif now the ground only connects to chassis

Just merged them, so that most of those information will be retained in this thread. icon_rolleyes.gif

latest revision. the PCB is used to build tube amp but i use to build filter. reasons are :

1. the PCB is very hard to adjust size, some too large and some too small. if cut big ones, the screw hole would not maintain 4 original holes.
2. The previous ones, direct solder and cable tie, damaged when bring it oversea, and damages again when comes back.
3. Extremely solid and 4 screw hole. easy to solder too.

Looks more like tag boards than "PCB". Can simply Google "tag boards" to see what I meant. Anyway the distance between the contacts on the tag board are usually fixed.. tongue.gif
