Wiggins Circlotron

[jorgen.bergfors at idg.se]

Well, you always need dual power supplies to be able to DC-couple signals. That is the basis for all normal op-amp designs. What is so special about this? It sounds like some mumbo-jumbo designed to impress audiophiles that know nothing about electronics design.

Hey All,

(This is a bit obscure, but...)

Has anyone on the list (besides me) ever experimented with Circlotron
output sections for pre or power amplifiers? This is a very unusual type of
circuit, and is currently highly controversial.

For those of you that don't know, the circlotron section is a novel method
of direct-coupling a signal output (sans caps or xfmrs, which have a way of
wrecking musical signals). An unusual feature of the design is that it
requires two identical floating power supplies to function.

Anyone?
