Hello,
I've got a couple of Drip EQ1s that I'm finishing putting together. I've got the noise floor down to -88DbFS when I short the power switch terminals on the board which I think I'm pretty happy with. However, with the power switch connected and the wires running all the way over to the other side of the chassis, the noise floor goes up to -77dBFS.
I don't think I can use the regulated 6.3V heater supply unfortunately since I'm using 1.35A of the 1.5 amp regulator already, but since I've got an extra 5VAC on this Hammond X-former, I'm thinking of adding relay control instead of running AC Mains across the whole chassis. I've not worked with relays before so I'm hoping for some input from you guys. Is this sensible? Any specific component suggestions?
Thank you
