If you go too low on the secondary voltage, the power losses go up greatly, and there is more stress on the transformers to be able to pass a given amount of current.
The optimal range is about 2 to 1 to about 4 to 1.
In that regard, the Radio Shack transformers I originally recommended (and which are no longer available), were on the edge of being optimal. I used them and recommended them for the filter, because they were readily available at the time, and relatively low-cost, etc.
For a high power whole system filter, you would be better off using the SpikeMaster based circuit, found here:

You could then put one of the Quick & Dirty Digital filters on just the CD player, or DAC, or whatever digitally based device you have in your system. This would further isolate it from the other gear.
