Re: Build Quality

Yes all the grounds are coming in from the same place but by installing a 600v capacitor you isolate the shielding ground from the return ground. It creates a Faraday cage around your control cavity thus eliminating the hummm. The 600v cap not only isolate all the control ground from the return but ...
