RE: 45 Parafeed Output Transformer

I'm debating which model to build in the Mexico format. Each candidate would involve a redesign...

Here's the candidates:

EXO 40 Series. 5k primary. Parafeed. As Mexico it would have secondary impedances of 16, 8, and 4 ohms.

TFA-200? JR a five K version of the TFA-2004 MEXICO.

I'm very much leaning toward the EXO FORTY devices as I have a much greater inventory of cool laminations (M3, M4, M6, and low nickel) in this size whereas my inventory of the good stuff in the 2004 core size is much more limited and is very difficult to source these days.

Plus smaller core sizes are magnetically more efficient due to the shorter magnetic path length.

Someday I have to say more about core materials and buyers' preferences... and how there's some really AWESOME state of the art core mats that don't enjoy the buzz factor (sadly) that say nickel and cobalt do...

I'm game for input, feedback, ideas, suggestions... a discussion of what may be desirable and what may be practical...
