Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi Tim,

Not really sure what to suggest here. A standard ferrite core transformer has worked OK in the past for many years, so anything suggested below should work OK. If you are worried about the mains input clarity then you might want to look at the filtering arrangement on the input side. There is already a 'spark killer', but a nice T or Pi filter in a screened can might be better. Also, how about going down the hi-fi nut route and fitting a torriodal type. Very low loss and efficient!

Bye,
Andy
