I don't know. I guess it is possible! Also I have been using an LFO to
modulate the frequency of the house's line voltage... I hope this isn't
causing any problems! >;]P

AC voltage with the load? I don't know if I understand. The AC only
goes so far as the rectifier diodes, doesn't it? I'd assume that if AC
was making it past there that the regulators and everything else would
be bork. What I thought I was doing was measuring raw, unregulated DC
at the voltage regulator inputs. So I guess +/-27v is actual
performance.
