Default Thoughts on this little oddity, anyone ...?


"Arfa Daily"

What am I missing here ? Not of any real consequence, as the unit is
mended and back in its original condition, but for academic interest, it
would be good to understand the designer's thinking.



** The idea is sometimes known as the "OOPS" system - for Out Of Phase
Stereo.

It balances the load on the common PSU at any point in time, reducing
voltage drop and electro cap ripple voltage.

Bob Carver used the idea in his famous M400a " Carver Cube" amp, et alia.
