<br class="">
I've just had an inquiry on building a portable sound stage and <br class="">
recording setup. Traditionally we've always used Exeltech, as they've <br class="">
had the cleanest output, with background buzz on tube amps being lower <br class="">
than grid power. Modsine were horrible, Old Trace SWs were pretty <br class="">
intolerable, Magnum's were usable, but still noticeably more buzz than <br class="">
grid. I think THD is roughly associated with the background buzz, but <br class="">
there might be certain harmonics that are particularly problematic. I <br class="">
haven't gotten into looking at the separate harmonics relative to what <br class="">
induces the most noise in these old vacuum tube circuits.<br class="">
<br class="">
This is a 48 v application that also needs a built in charger with <br class="">
transfer switching. Exeltech does not appear to have anything in that <br class="">
department. Any other choices? How are Samlex?<br class="">
<br class="">
As always, thanks in advance for your time and expertise,<br class="">
