I have recently upgraded my setup to a Reference 10.2 to go with my LCD-3s and I must say the combination is amazing to listen to. There is certainly plenty of juice in this amp to drive the planar magnetic cans without a sweat. Like all toys I got since age 5 I tend to pull them apart to see the inner workings of it all (...years later I'm and engineer!) and I happen to pop the top of the Ref 10.2 to have a sticky beak.
Now I'm not an electrical genius or anything, far from it, but I had a look at the back of the 4 pin XLR plug and noticed that the 240Volt wires from the transformer is running right next to the rear terminals of the plug (see photo below). Hopefully someone here can have some input on this, is this a worry in terms of interference maybe?? Also it seems a little silly to me why people get huge thick shielded headphone cables connecting to the outside but when you look inside (most amps) there are tiny wires connecting it to the circuitry and this case running next to high voltage lines.
Am I making any sense ?
