RE: Explanation of Digital Noise

Well before the 70s, Stan Curtis in UK published articles on the tuning of amps and preamps using deliberatively undersized power transformers.

Apologies if I have the details wrong (it was over 30 years ago) but, as I recall it, Curtis let slip in a letter to Hi-Fi News that an amp he developed for Rotel in the 1970s had, by design, a PSU that resonated at the same frequency (90Hz?) as one of the open strings of a bass guitar. It went on to gain a reputation for being excellent for rock music.

See link for more on Curtis's interesting career.
