I bet the maths gets complicated. No wonder they like to use fibre optic cables nowadays.
That is to provide power to the repeaters every 30-50Km or so.
The +1Amp end is usually at approx +5Kv or thereabouts.
That is also called "French coiling" when applied to large ropes of hemp or wire. when laying 4" diameter wirerope on a deck it is the only way to safely do it.
The scanned pic is gone from my PC (so is the file I had all your posts on ground loops, wire issues and diagrams. I am
)Then I made a search on the site but I couldn’t find Richard’s post.
I did spot a page though that you cross relevant posts.
The nice thing about the finding is that you were on olives again one year ago but then for Vodka

CD. There is no shame in the Hi End.
The rapid escalation of high-end prices over the past decade has been quite shocking to those of us who remember when the most expensive audio component was probably the seven foot tall $20,000 Infinity IRS four tower speaker system. I suspect that this increase is well correlated with the movement of baby-boomers, along with their peak savings, into their retirement years.

You skipped the last bit.
(the Venture Audio V200A+ class-A monoblocks use MOSFET output devices, which helps account for their ripe, sweet sound)
Yes, such concise technical justification.
Jason, Medea funny tonight I was trying to watch an old Hercules movie from 1960 with Jayne Mansfield, other than the difficulties posed to the costume department it was pretty bad.

Once, I did have that degree of freedom. I designed a solid state power amp the size of a refrigerator for Dick Sequerra, about 20 years ago. He paid me in advance for the schematic, but he did not go forward with it. He did release a dual mono vacuum tube power amp for $100,000, built by JC Morrison. I heard it at an audio show in NY. It was WONDERFUL sounding!
What keeps you from designing an 'all out' power amp ?
At least a tacked together prototype ......
Custom parts ?
Money, keeps me from designing an 'all out' power amp. Constellation already has a hi end power amp. Parasound is happy around $10,000 retail. I am building a couple of really high quality power amps with others that might give both Parasound and Constellation a good run for the money, but there are limits, even to these designs.
I will, in future, listen carefully to our prototype that we made several years ago in my audio system, as I optimize it. It is a 250W/ch stereo amp that you can carry under your arm. So far, it sounds great! The other one will be perhaps 300W and made to the standards that Vendetta Research operated on. Should make a difference. We are in the schematic phase, now.

Magnapan , boy you really hate bass ...
Good stuff and congrats ....
Nope, massive devaluation of the dollar is the bigger culprit....
what was in that fridge....
which would you pursue ...?
We did French roping with 3-phase mobile radar power cables in the field, ostensibly to prevent inductive cable heating when we would coil it normally.
