RE: Core Types

Hello Lenin,

This is the second time you have posted about E-I cores, and you are RIGHT about it.

It should be a modern C Core and or a Toroidal core ( Menno Van Der Veen ).

You are not in the USA. At RMAF many many years ago, in Terry Cain's listening room, there was a huge after-hours SET amp showdown, and the Serious Stereo amps wiped-out all the rest, they gave Dennis a standing ovation. Nothing has changed, to my understanding, since then.

Likely, the core-type you mention, and also the toroidal core, will be evaluated in the future. These should be even better than E-I.

There is MUCH more to a successful SET implementation than just the core-type, as we hopefully know. "Everything" in the SET implementation matters !!

Your comments are noted and appreciated, I generally agree with them. Thank you very much.
