Re: I like to DIY, you might like it too!

Without spilling the beans....the design is very close to the original which I always felt was lost in the who takes credit for what concept. Most active designs today use a simple Y-cap (anywhere from .01uf to .1uf) at the speaker end to load the shield in concert with a wall wart psu. The idea is to use the psu to run a little voltage across the capacitor to charge the floating shield. It's not a real difficult concept to understand. I decided not to copy that approach....instead I decided to address both the amp and cable dampening properties at the same time. In my opinion it is better to balance (control) both sides of the amps circuit if your really looking to cancel out RFI and EMI effecting the entire circuit. Just think about the lengths people go to for cleaner ac on the primary side of the circuit. The entire cable game is based on finding the proper capacitance balance to match the primary side. The concept I'm working on allows me to actively control the primary and secondary balance without changing or adding to the original circuit.

So far the project has surpassed my wildest dreams. At the moment I'm still fine tuning the idea and would like to keep it under wraps. Let me just say the idea has a lot of promise.
