You, Jeff, are the one who proposes, listen and you will belive.
Untill you have heard a torid powered amp how can you put them
down?

I promised myself that I would not respond to your follow-up post.
Why? Because I do not come here to argue, I am here to discuss
diy tube audio.However, since you don't seem content with that here we go.
First of all, I did not say that torids are the best solution to
amplifier design. In fact, I don't belive that they are at all
the best solution. I simply said that they can and do sound very
good.Unlike you, I have an open mind when it comes to designing and
building amps. I build it, I listen to it, then I decide if I
like it or not. And I do not limit my possibilities to what I
have read or heard.If I (we) had listened to the so called experts about how tubes
vs transistors measure, I (we) would be still listening to SS amps.Think about it Jeff, just because you don't agree with something
doesn't mean that it is wrong.But then, maybe in your world it does.

But not on Power Transformers, but Greg's 245 amp uses Plitron SE toroidal output trannies and they are really realy nice sounding and wideband.
What makes them good as outputs makes them bad as power transformers.Why would I want to listen to them on the other end of the amp, where I know from articles I've read and graphs I've seen that toroids allow high frequency line hash to pass into the B+ filters. ... I don't see any logic at all. So your amp has em, BFD. That doesn't mean its the best solution to the amplifier design problem. Sorry.
Jeff. Could I not use the same arguments with regard to your power supply theories?
Touche'. You are right, you could. Nice point !!But you will be missing out one heck of a good power supply implementation that simply sounds way superior. The difference in sound between a toroid PT and a regular PT will not be anywheres NEAR the magnitude of importance.
Why argue over anything??
Just spend under fifty dollars and get the L1/C1/L2/C2 power supply parts I outlined and hear and enjoy it for yourself. It is REALLY good !! All who have implemented it as suggested - just LOVE it !!
