[TenTec] [Fwd: Line Isolator Balun (sorta) question.] Sorta OTphilosophy, or where does it get us?

Very true.  The 'worst of the worst' seem to be the 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 
Surround Sound systems that folks add on to their big-screen TV's.  The 
speaker cables that come standard all seem to be about a quarter wave on 20 
meters, and on my own system before I added ferrites on the leads, I could 
blast myself out of the room with 100 Watts on 20.  Ferrites on all the 
leads going in and out of the box fixed the problem 100%, even at 1.5 kW.
