RE: Golden Age PP transformers

Paul you said "I once worked on a project with Magnequest Mike, in the course of which I have seen the drawings (which Mike now owns) for one of the best golden-age P-P transformers. Each insulation segment has a different material and a different thickness, specifically to manage the high frequency leakage/parasitic capacitances to avoid HF resonances. High frequency resonances in the primary winding wreak havoc with global feedback, so golden-age P-P transformers had to take these issues seriously."
Does this mean that if an output trans like an Acro TO 450 is used as a SE Parafeed OPT the HF resonances are NOT a problem?
