I removed the C5 and D2 again, and connected C2 and L2.
Et voila! There are the ripples.
So the DC offset isn't causing it. it is something that L2/C2 does.
I had 81nF in the first measurements
then made it smaller to 31nF (raising the frequency)
Tuning above the resonant frequency enough will make the ripples go away, except one, but that one is normal.
So... now I will have to measure C4 and see what is happing there.
I will need to add current into the mix, as L1 and L2 are in series, and when L2 is powered, the current also flows into L1.
it seems the ripples start flowing, when the current of L2 is changing polarity, which makes sense, as this would give L1 the current path to discharge again. still this is a bit silly, but I'll see soon enough
