This is just a pulse width controller from a stove burner that pulses
the power.

I think I'm hearing the electrical noise from that up here on my SSB
radio. :-)


Actually, if you know the secret, it's pretty simple:

Eisboch's probably got a couple of these out back in the shed. Just hook
it up to the old Brinkman
and away you go:

Being the nerd I am, I have to comment:

Pulse width modulation is how the "Super Audio" CD's were made and are
vastly superior to conventional CD's in terms of fidelity, dynamic range
and sound reproduction. Don't hear about them much anymore due to the
general interest in quantity over quality in music reproduction and
storage. I still have a super cd player hooked up to a fairly decent
sound system. "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits never sounded so
good. It really shines if you get in the mood for a little "hi brow"
classical music as well.





Hmm. I've got the "Brothers in Arms" super audio CD somewhere. Sounds great.
