Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

You both make good points.

Is it a good supply, and did it change.

What you guys are forgetting, is that the effect changed as it was slid along the wire..

What is different along the length??

Why would a yittle itty bitty amount of added inductance on the line cord completely swamp out the inductive component of the supply transformer sufficiently to crash the supply voltages.

Perhaps Dan should revisit the thing and provide measurements of rails.

MKJ: ""
'm not sure why someone would want to use a big old saturable lump o'metal on their power cord, so why is this different than sticking a resistor in series and saying, wow, there's an effect? ""

Because a resistor in series will produce an exact and measureable response..Ohms law has not been repealed (to the best of my knowledge).

Here, we're talking about a change of inductance which is inconsequential with respect to a xfmr, so should not affect the rails.

The fact that it changes the sound means it can, and the reason for that must be found by measurement.

Gee, maybe if I slide my breaker box along the romex...after all, it's magnetic..or steel outlet boxes....Until this post, nobody's been hypothesizing about those steel components altering supply voltages via phase shifts to the point of audibility and being slid along the wires..

Cheers, John
