Re: Quad's weak power supply question?

Thanks for the kind words on the boards. Nothing too fancy, but then they don't need to be!

If you lower the resistance on the panels with non-original coatings, then yes adding some resistance on the output of the EHT supply would be in oder. I honestly don't know why one would want to do such a thing. Nylon is so easy to use and readily available, and it is exactly what PJW had in mind.

Dropping the resistance below the minimum will cause some charge migration and sparking with original ESL panels, even with the added resistance in my experience. This will only occur under extreme drive, but it does happen.

The original was designed with high resistance on the diaphraghm and going lower only causes problems.
