Default Re: How much DC on your mains ?

The very low resistance of toroid primaries makes it believable that it could cause the core to saturate with only a small DC mains component. The capacitor approach may sort out DC but a screened isolation transformer would also help clean it up.

Do top end hi-fi amps still use mains transformers?
