I've been looking around for a 1:1 line level transformer to lift the ground when connecting the headphone stereo output jack of a laptop or iPod to a consumer-grade amp that takes a headphone jack input. All I've been able to find is insanely expensive, like US$200. http://www.jensen-transformers.com/prices.html#ci2rr That's ridiculous. I just need the transformer itself; I can connectorize it myself. But my searches (Jameco, Mouser, DigiKey) aren't turning up anything except POWER transformers, much larger than what I need. Can anyone point me to some part numbers and (reasonable) prices for a 1:1 line level transformer? Thanks. -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
I don't think that's insanely expensive :) given that jensen are probably one of the best at this sort of thing and their transformers are used in many professional grade applications - and if you are going to transformer-couple things then the quality of the transformer is absolutely critical (even to get consumer grade performance) and requires specialist knowledge and manufacture to get right (or a lot of luck!). There may be other options that don't require a transformer - it depends upon the problem you are trying to solve.
