Hi Mike,
You'll probably get a lot of responses from this question. To answer
it, your frequency and output are absolutely the same. The reason they
sound different is now because of using smoothed DC all your breaks "are
created equal" instead of the power they impart fluctuating with their
position on the 60 Hz ac input cycle. As to whether it is "better" to use
DC or AC (as the charging choke represents and impedance, VS the DC being a
slightly higher input voltage due to being smoothed) I could not say, as it
involves more math than I care to do on the weekend...
