The Plasmatron - more linear output voltage


From the website: "The Plasmatron provides a more linear voltage output."

Can someone explain why this would be beneficial as an ideal power supply is a sine wave? If it produced a sawtooth wave it could be more linear, but a sawtooth wave is what the cheapest transistors use.

A EE friend of mine is baffled by this claim. Can someone shed some light?

I e-mailed Chris, at VH Audio, the importer for the Plasmatron and asked him to elaborate more as to why it (Plasmatron/Tyratron tubes) works. He held his cards very close to the vest as he stated intellectual property was in the process of being secured, thus the vague language. I auditioned the C6JA, and C3Ja tubed units, both were superb. I bought the smaller one and as I have written here on other threads, was very shocked by how much of a difference treating the AC signal makes. I have auditioned power cords from 100.00 to 8000.00 and none made this kind of difference. But, this is my system, and yours may respond differently.
This, to my ears, is a breakthrough product. An entirely different way of looking at how to treat AC. I have posted here, and Audio Circle, and have had cynics say how it borderline on voodoo, yet not evaluate one, or express an interest in evaluating one. Just a closed mind. I am not here to sell Plasmatron units, I HAVE No Vested interest, just makes more of a sonic improvement than any high $ power cord or line conditioning I have ever used. Follow your ears.....Plasmatech
A friend of mine left his on 24/7 and he well past a year and no issues....a lot of tube hours. I turn mine off. No need to add tube hours. The tubes MUST be matched and VH Audio has the world's only known tube matcher for C3JA, C6JA.... (they designed and built one). Tube life is significantly extended. Plasmatech
Ptss, in response to your question, I have listened extensively to Cardas Golden Ref power cables as well as Audience. Shunyata Anaconda, Synergestic, and others, etc.
Power conditioning has been Bryston Bit20, Gray Substation, PS Audio Powerplant, Synergestic Power Cell, and others. One of the best combinations was the Plasmatron plugged into the Gray and PS Audio. Pushed the package forward substantially.
