Z-1000 with Z-Controller and CW-80 Waveforms

gunrunnerjohnOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

If anyone wonders why the Z-Controller and other chopped waveform transformers cause issues with some environments, one only has to look at the waveform, UGLY! The output of the brick is just fine until it goes through the Z-Controller! Adding a 2A load (8 ohms) cleans up the ringing a bit, but it's still ugly.

Since the CW-80 gets such a bad rap, I thought I'd check it out. WOW, with no load it really is UGLY! Looks pretty much like the Z-Controller with the 2A load. I think all the ringing with no or a light load may be the CW-80's undoing.
