    Congratulations David, you have proven the difference is negligible on the 10440 precise. Looking forward to future tests on your other models....

    Default Further; regarding aluminum in the real world

    David is being overly fair to the aluminum by doing these tests with clean aluminum. In normal use naked aluminum quickly oxidizes. Aluminum oxide can be better characterized as a resistive material than a conductive one.

    If someone here with deep pockets is seriously concerned about moving a little DC with no higher frequency component, 3 inches through solid metal, they should ask David nicely if he will build the PV of their choice out of sterling silver which is a sensational conductor. While it, like aluminum, oxidizes, silver oxide, unlike aluminum oxide, is a pretty darn good conductor.


    To the non-technical: While all true, the above is meant as nerd humor/sarcasm.

    Thanks for the update video. Let me know when my sterling silver Super-Precise is ready. Don't forget the "S" engraving on the bottom.

    Hmm
    Where do we sign up for the sterling silver Super-Precise????
    Sounds like the next work of art, from David.

    Bob

    P.S. I will even be willing to sign up without the requirement of voltage loss testing. (Two SS P10 Precises, and two AL S6s all seem to work to perfection. Far more important than charts, graphs and data sheets.)

    Bad Boy David!! Bad! Bad! Go to your machine shop and build devices

    If you want, I'll buy one secretly and send it to you Susan..

    Nice test David. At least you got to use the voltage tester again..

    What up True? LTNS...

    It isn't necessary as any type of atomizer can be used to produce a loaded voltage. It is true that different types of atomizers run at different loaded voltages, but that isn't what we are/ or want to measure in this test. This test was designed to show the voltage loss associated with running stainless steel or aluminum as the ground. We would get an identical spread (approx. 3/100 of a volt) whether we were using a 510, 901, 801 etc...

    Hope that helps!

    BTW, i haven't seen you down here on the Super T forums in quite awhile, it's good to see you back and i hope things are well with you!

    David
