The manufacturers have to keep people from buying too many vehicles with decent mileage, lest they exceed the CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy).

Well now, if we can just agree that you are not hearing DC, and now you claim that this 137 mA or whatever is causing this buzz you are wrong. It is that glitch in the sine wave doing it. And after Phil over here telling us literally that some of these toroids are made out of scrap metal, I guess I see why, but you still are not hearing the DC and small amounts are, well small. Some net DC in windings can make a transformer saturate on alternate half-cycles. That can cause acoustic hum from the transformer, and can create nasty magnetic field pulses at 60 Hz. Stacked-lamination transformers are more prone to mag field leakage, especially at the lamination stackup transitions. Toroids, being symmetric, leak less field, but tend to saturate easier and have low impedances so can make giant primary current pulses at 60 Hz, which can themselves cause mag fields from wiring or other things like AC line filters. Low-level circuits can then pick up the mag fields. So, some of that is real. We sold one NMR gradient amp that had that problem. Even 1 PPM of hum is nasty in NMR, like finding a roach in the soup. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics

The blind idiocy of these guys is totally without limit. The eBay auction for one FOOT of really nicely braided power cord for $6800 was one of the best. I've got an old one for some "Les Paul" capacitors (some really honking big oil-paper ones) for $150 for two units posted on my wall at work. Jon

Pretty girl in audiophile magazine next to $6800 power cable. Hmm! Maybe if Ugg buy power cable, Ugg have pretty girl, too. I'm pretty sure audiophoolery must be some kind of psycho-sexual thing, or unresolved Mommy issues. It's really the only thing that makes sense in explaining the madness
