In Reply to: Because they have filament transformers. posted by Al Sekela on August 19, 2006 at 16:03:44:
but being a lazy sort of guy, although I have many filament transformers, exactly what do you hear, if I may ask? I've been snubbing my filament transformer secondaries for a significant gain in sonic quality: fuller, warmer sound and a lowering of the noise floor. Is that what you've been achieving with this tweak?Since I use the filament outputs, I had conjectured that the diode spikes could enter the power transformer and be reflected onto the other secondaries and other taps. While I didn't have high enough voltage caps to snub the B+ AC lines, I had enough to snub the filament ones, figuring that that may help the B+ line also.
Thanks,
Stu
