121. [AMPS] Another Stupid Question (score: 1): Author: W8JI@contesting.com (Tom Rauch); Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2001 18:44:12 -0500; Not true. It sounds "nice", but it is not factual. In truth, the impedance barely changes. Let's assume the blocking cap, at the lowest frequency, would be set a reasonable value of 10% of the imped; /archives//html/Amps/2001-12/msg00009.html (9,751 bytes)
122. [AMPS] Another Stupid Question (score: 1): Author: W8JI@contesting.com (Tom Rauch); Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2001 05:50:38 -0500; That would be true only if you broke the "rule" that the blocking cap reactance has to be small compared to the plate impedance of the tube. That would happen if the tube had low reactance in parall; /archives//html/Amps/2001-12/msg00014.html (8,581 bytes)

129. [AMPS] Stupid transformer question (score: 1): Author: W8JI@contesting.com (Tom Rauch); Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 00:37:57 -0500; Woah there! Don't do that! Most efficient transformers are designed to run with the core near saturation. Very few would have safety factor of 2x.
