Recently you stated that using (parallel?)capacitance to your NST's
primary can "cheat" the magnetic shunts or increase power output.  Please
clarify, because with a parallel capacitance that means it is simply
across mains, meaning that every single other transformer or coil on
your(in Germany it is about half a town per xformer, right?) will see
that capacitor.  This will mean that there should be no significant
benefits, unless I misunderstood you.  It will also try to put the mains
out of phase, which annoys the power company, and will be reactively
swishing power back and forth through mains, which can amount to losses
with large caps in any wiring which could make a thermal fuse blow or a
power cord(This is unlikely though, a 100 uf cap is only about a 27ohm
reactor in us and 31 in 50hz so it isn't that significant).
