Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
I have a friend who used to work at the BBC's Daventry short wave transmitter station.
On a visit there in about 1988 I was shown the modulation transformer for one of the late '50s vintage Marconi transmitters there. This thing was roughly the size of a sub-station transformer and sat in the middle of an otherwise empty locked room. When I saw and heard it, the transformer was very clearly and very loudly producing the sound of the Housemartins song "Happy Hour".
