Post Subject: The point with balunPosted by N-set on: 2/16/2012

Steverino, this is not the point who responded to whom and how.
The point is that in your particular example: a balun (HF isolation tranny)
placed after a (presumably) digital power oscillator the explanation of better
sonics might perhaps be reliably tested. Again, a possibility I've been thinking of
is that perhaps the digital power synthesis of SDS is not cleaned well enough and balun helps
getting rid of digital noise. A scope will not help here, also IIRC ROmy doe not use
any digital power synthesis for powering his TT.
My motivation for taking this point here and getting so interested in your particular experience
is that I'm cooking myself a digital 3-phase power oscillator for powering my EMT and the problem of
digital noise and it's propagation on the surrounding equipment
has been on my mind. I don't know how SDS synthesizes power, but I took it seriously and commisioned
an uC controller with a 16bit synthesis of the power sine. Perhaps a massive overkill butt all those
digital toys are insanely cheap and easy to programm. The first results are promissing, with low harmonics.

Cheers,
N-set
