Most likely the audible differences you are hearing are down to reduced parasitic capacitance, as the home made cores will be 'scramble-wound' in commercial speak, i.e. irregularly laid on the former. Scramble winding is very very expensive to do, as in general it can only be done effectively by hand.Unless tightly controlled, the airgap in a C-core will also vary substantially, and that will influence the sound dramatically, especially if you have any DC offset at the TVC input.
Audio transformers are where art and science meet - there is good theory that covers 98%, but the remaining 2 % is pure craft.
The fact that S&B produced the damned thing at all is nothing short of a miracle, and it does sound significantly better than an equivalent electronic buffer.
Have fun
