OK. Let's talk engineering, then.

Hi.

Let's check up the "Dynamic behaviour of PSU" report posted only yesterday in Tube DIY forum. An good ready-made technical reference.

Now take a close look at the the chart showing wave patterns of a choke of critical inductance 5H (page 3) vs that of a conventional C I/P PSU (page 5).

Regarding the obvious different voltage levels, the dynamic behavour of both PSUs as shown in their wave patterns were very similar, if not so deceivingly identical.

Ironically, they are both so dissimilar to the same choke I/P PSU using mercury vapour rectifiers.

IMO, the waveform pattern of the C I/P PSU is grossly smoother from attack to decay than the choke I/P PSU.

You want to comment on the report finding?

While sonics is so subjective, I am not in a postion to debate with you which type of I/P PSU should sound better to whoever.

Sorry, I don't find a adequate designed/built capacitor I/P PSU would sound "crappy".
