Post Subject: DiodesPosted by Paul S on: 11/6/2010

N-set, I could not raise the attachment. It has literally been years since I saw the Axiom (SET) circuit, but as I recall, it works with (tube!) diodes coming and going, to maintain balance, isolation and stability in the face of a classic "stacked" (1-way) tank circuit.

Do I remember a truly stupendous mains tranny, the likes of which one seldom sees this side of a power plant? That'll cost ya'! I think I remember as smart a grounding arrangement, per se, as I have ever seen, except no margin for error with the parts. I for sure remember lots of diodes...

I am no expert, but I wonder about noise, trying to crank so much voltage off that particular tank, along with the whole +/- PP issue, and how that might do with the stock ground scheme. If you want high voltage at the tube, maybe Deema's "TV" ideas are not so wild, after all, or even TV dampers, for that matter... Start building that Faraday Cage!

Best regards,
Paul S
