slownlow, hi. Better 'scope' that power supply to make sure the 'waveform is pretty' before you confess how good the amp sounds. Watch out. You'll be getting a call from the Power Supply Waveform Police if you're not careful. Am not exactly sure what 'waveform' applies here. Let's see. Your choices seem to be unrectified high voltage AC ( geez! it looks like a sine wave. wow! ) or unsmoothed DC past the rectifier or maybe after all the chokes and caps. (oh, yeah. that's what I've been waiting to see. a nice flat smooth DC 'waveform' line. waveform? a line? Is a straight line a 'waveform'?) Hmmm. Where is that doggone pretty power supply waveform? ( can DC even be called a waveform? ) Shucks. On second thought better just enjoy your wonderful new amplifier and how good it sounds. Congratulations on the build and Happy Listening?
