Yeah, supposedly being fussy about PS design and then using a toroidal transformer right at the start is just plain stupid. Assuming we're concerned with performance/quality, and not just "packaging". Appeals to the rubes though. There are better configurations of EI design than what that looks like, and better configs than EI too. [I think we talked about that not so long ago, re a Teradak (sp?) PS you might have been interested in.]
I don't get too agitated when some of my gear uses toroidals, actually lots of it does, but I know it's all about practicality and packaging and not performance.
I do enjoy the pics everybody's posted! Nice to see the guts of stuff.
