I just got my pair of 9k`s running. Very nice sound !
However, I have a slight problem. I`m using a 0-18v, 0-18v 15VA torroidal transformer, & its getting hot. How hot you ask ? Too hot to touch is the answer.
Now I guess it 7.5VA per winding, which to me means it should be able to supply 416mA per winding. With the number & type of chips on the 2 boards I`m surprised at the current draw. Its not a problem to stick a bigger transformer in there, but I just want to check if this sounds right or whether I`ve got a problem.
