steveR	Re: DC Filament Question I've had really good luck with the method described on Randall's page. (www.aikenamps.com) There's a great schematic. (It also shows how to use the DC supply for controling a relay) Basically, lift the CT and tape it off. Both legs of the DC circuit are referenced to ground with 100 ohm resistors. The AC portion can also be referenced to ground with 100 ohms resistors, but I found the effect of this to be negligible for the output section. steveR
