Rage - Many of Triad's newer products are Chinese, and they simply don't meet the standards required for high end audio work. I recently bought a batch of Hammond 155T from Allied at a good price, still made in North America and less expensive than the Triads. The 155T is 0.5H, 300mA, 30 ohms. Initial results as a first choke in my experiments have been excellent, and they don't buzz or do anything else you wouldn't want. They're not identical to the C-40X, but if you're looking for a high-quality choke for the first position, they're worth considering.
