I wonder if the export market for big amplifiers, is pinched by the high
cost of shipping, the sheer weight of high power linear amplifiers, largely
caused by linear HV supplies.
If so, is the cost of a switching high voltage high power B+ supply
prohibitive to designing it into a high end amp? Would the weight savings
(what would the weight savings be?) of a switching HV supply design overcome
the (presumed) higher cost of a switching supply, over conventional designs?
Somewhere I have seen an ad for a relatively light weight, compact switching
B+ supply for linear amplifiers. Though, it was probably not inexpensive.
All the Best, 73,
