A few general comments about how I intend to pursue this:
1) To the maximum extent possible I'm going to use comparison rather than measurement
2) I'm going to build the project in the smallest possible increments with lots of performance testing before moving on to the next section starting from the wall plug out.
3) A screened enclosure is absolutely essential and I expect that magnetic shielding will also be required. I know this from previous EMI mitigation efforts for projects with less stringent requirements.
4) DSP and numerical work will be the last step and results of that may force going back and reworking portions of the system. It is highly likely that DSP will clean up the data enough to demonstrate that there are undetected flaws in prvious work.
5) There are a number of items I shall need to design and build for testing which will present their own can of worms to resolve and I anticipate some of those may prove time consuming to get correct.
6) Once it is complete, testing will take years.
7) Failure is highly likely, possibly multiple times.
My response to Dan is already so lengthy I've set it aside for review.
Have Fun!
