Forrest, et.al.,

Did you use that 70 volt line transformer we dug out of my spares box?  =
If
so, post your results to the group as to which taps work best and if you
figured out the color codes.  There are a couple of new list members who
want to know.  For some reason I can't find my line transformer docs =
that I
saved from years ago when I worked in the audio business.   Hmmm, wonder =
how
a R-390() would sound feeding a big Altec Lansing horn array, tapped off =
the
diode load? Sure would be better than a pink noise generator for =
equalizing
tests.=20

By the way, listening to Rush on a newly acquired or resurrected R-390() =
is
pretty much a US benchmark standard of comparison as decreed by the =
list.
I'm surprised it got left out of the Y2K manual. I wonder if there is a =
Rush
equivalent in every country?  The second benchmark, of course, is ever
present WWV, especially during the 45+ seconds of the minute, when its =
just
those hynoptic 5ms ticks followed by the voice announcement.  Time to =
crank
up the audio and check for hum.  Might as well check zero beat with WWV,
too. =20
