RE: My 3 years to the goal of the non-compromise SET and still learning..

mqracing,

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. By "banding together", you mean connected, right? Yes, both halves are functioning together and the transformer can be used in 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 configurations.
If you mean the steel strip that bands many C core transformers - no, they aren't banded. They are tightened with non-magnetic rods (brass) and thick fiberglass panels.
The panels only tighten the cores together, but do not touch the coils, so there is no damage to worry about.


jusbe, sorry for my late reply, somehow I forgot to answer you in the previous posts.

My colleague wounds only on single C cores with double bobbins and uses his own special "asymmetric" interleaving from which he has achieved in one of his best projects 15 Hz at -1dB and 160KHz at -1dB. He prefers square shaped C-cores and has wound projects even on amorphs like AMCC500 from Hitachi. He has wound tubes for tubes like 300B, 2A3, GM70, 4P1L, EL34, 6P45S, 6S33S.
He doesn't have a website, but he records data of his projects on his PC. Unfortunately, many of his measurement data were lots because of a HDD crash. He told me he had some on his new computer scattered and I will do my best to find some and post here.
He is kind of very busy right now, but he told me he plans to increase production soon. Our local audiophile community really hopes he does.
He also winds chokes with split bobbins (6,8) on single C cores. The purpose is to get low stray capacitance, which passes less noise through the choke.

Kloss, yes I had. Currently the fifth pair of speakers I've listened to these amps. No complains. Only fullrangers and 2-ways though, never tried "more-way".
