if it smells like... err... sounds like chicken... then the Colonel must have built it!!!
Still "down under"... got any silver to send me yet???
my initial attraction to the idea of parafeed PP was largely the product of wondering what effect if any having separate paths for the AC and DC paths would have... and if the resultant "improvement" in PSRR would make a difference...
like I said in an earlier post... I might have gone with SUPER plate chokes (i.e., much higher L's)... though this is not meant to fault the good work of nullspace...
and my other thought... that I was going to mention in a response to one of nullspace's posts... I'll say it here...
I think nullspace has only tried one brand (and one value?) of blocking cap... I would assemble a handful of candidates of varying constructions and give try out different brands, values, and cap materials.
Motor runs, Jensen oil\copper caps (available through K&K audio), old (i.e., vintage) oilers, etc.
Caps do have voices... but so don't transformers... and tubes... and perhaps even the choice of solder... so I don't interpret this as a "fault" or shortcoming of capacitors (no capcitoritis here)...
but it is worth exploring the variations... just as various brands and materials of resistors can make subjective differences in sound....
ya gotta try a few to hone in on the guys who are going to work best for your application and your ears.
cheers all,
