Re: VECTOR: WG6100 HVU cage necessary?

Wihout a cage, the 6100 HV will cause static lines on the display to 
'shimmer' up to +/- 1mm on the tube, usually less but definetly visible. Not 
so much of a problem with moving images.

As just pointed below, amplifones are usually set up with the boards mounted 
on the cab sides a foot or more further away from the tube than the HV in a 
6100.

hope this helps.
