Now if the link provided had something to do with what Jeff posted, then fine. But IMHO, it doesn't.

I didn't read it all as for now I don't have the time. I would be fine with the results if it wasn't for the mumbo jumbo explanations.

When it comes to ground plane solutions, I have done some of this and it is audible but then good grounding techniques are audible and verifiable technically so there's no mystery explanations needed.

cheers,

Stephen

maybe it doesn't however it does give an explanation as to how adding litz wire to the ground system essentially helped resolve more detail.

it could be bullshit for all I know, and in honesty I haven't done a lot of experimenting with different wire just yet.

the gentlemen posting it seems pretty well versed in output transformer design, I certainly wouldn't dismiss it entirely.

  Very few pass these courses in undergraduate studies with flying colors, and fewer go on and use it in future work. BS can be made to sound good, and unrecognizable as such.
  
  I can understand that he hears what he says. He tries then to imagine the actual cause and effect. While he means well, he really doesn't know what happened and has no reality-based idea about what he's talking about.
  
  I have dealt with these kinds of problems in RF and microwave theory and I can't really make a true understanding of what is going on. That is just because I know it takes major computer modeling for just simple things, and this isn't even simple. Probably no one, therefore, really knows the cause and effect. And that's why it is sometimes called "black magic". It means something seems to work, but there's no hope now for a real quick understanding. Dimensionally and electrically there, there's way too much that can be going on.
  
  I repeat this message again and again, and that is we know a lot, but we still don't know much at all in science no matter how it seems. We branch out again and again with more questions for every simple answer found. Only the highest leading edge researchers really appreciate that humbling fact, I think.
