In my system, one side of the transformer goes to each side of the cap, then
one lead from the caps goes to the SG, and the other goes to the primary
coil, as shown in the 250 kv system of John Couture's book, if you happen to
have that handy.

I'm an overkill guy too, so where's a good source to but a corcom dual stage
filter?

I'll stop plauging you, I promise!

Thanks yet again,
