Hi all.
This is my first post in this forum. After some study and a lot of disassembled smps I decided to make one to power 4 lm3886 amplifiers. The problem is that I have only salvaged EI33 cores from cheap atx psus. Bigger cores are unavailable in local market.
The first question is: can I bind side by side two of these cores to double the output power like we do with linear psu transformers?
The second question: since Im a newbie and I still don't have access to a oscilloscope, what's the rate of success, considering that I want to make everything, including the transformer and pcb (at least) visually perfect?
