AAARRRGGGHHHH!
Alright....now we've come full circle. Can't someone just tell me
with any degree of certainty wheather or not I can paralell these
things? I would like to pair the 12KV 30 to the 15KV 30 ...that
should be okay, the 12 sould be able to handle the higher voltage.
I also have a 7.5KV at 100mA that would rock but I'll probably let
the magic smoke out if I try to put 12 or 15 KV through it.
