None the less, you can still get very good results with an EI transformer...What performance oriented gear uses them?
I also think part their popularity is due to their smaller size, allowing for low profile cases (cool looks).
Really? I don't find that to be the case with low level devices like DACs, CDPs, line stages, phono preamps. etc. as there's no substantial size advantage. All my thin and cheap DVD/Blu Ray players use EI cores. Or, consider two similar Oppo players, one with a toroidal and the other, without. Note that the one with the toroid is in a larger case. Click the images tab for both the BDP-93 and BDP-95 here.
As for non-switching power amps, I'm just not seeing them shrink as a result either. Here's a Pass LabsINT-150 and here's the Emotiva XPA-5 I purchased recently for the HT.
Care to cite any examples?
