Improving sound quality through safety standards: phasing in action!
About phasing, marking, transformers, standards, power supply quality and safety.
In this video, at the request of subscribers and viewers of the channel, The insides of the Mcaudi TD2000 power distributor (a fairly popular model, produced under the terms of OEM contracts for many audio equipment manufacturers), the principle of operation and scenarios for its use are considered. The differences between step-down transformers and autotransformers are considered. Some nuances regarding the markings and standards of the Japanese 100 volt power supply are shown.
Some critical points in organizing the network power supply of Hi-Fi components are clearly analyzed and shown. Timings:
