I've heard of doing this before, with the capacitors, so would this be the

regular capacitors?


Doorknobs are excellent but expensive.

is that a kind of capacitor, or are you making fun of my not knowing the
different kids of capacitors

No he is not making fun of you. There is a style of capacitor that is
called a door knob for the shape that it is made in.

To start out with go ahead and try some good high voltage ceramic capacitors
from the control lines to ground. A fairly high value of 0.47 uF might do
good in parallel with a .01 uF cap.

For the toroids in the line they have to be fairly hefty as there could be
some significant currents running on the lines at the different frequencies.
If the toroids saturate they won't work as intended and can cause some real
interesting things to happen.

I only make fun of gurus. :-) The doorknob is my favorite kind of capacitor.
I have a couple of hundred of them. Here are some pictures of capacitors,
including door knobs.
