Re: toroids are perceived as good?

Even if you filter out some of the junk before it gets to the transformer, you're still limited by what the transformer itself is capable of. As such, toroids should be limited to products that cater to lower cost products and / or circuit designs that require wider bandwidth. In this particular instance, wide bandwidth and lack of isolation is not desirable, so why start with a product as the foundation for the entire operation of the device that is less than optimal??? Like i said, cost cutting and weight reduction is the answer, but sub-optimal performance is the result. This is especially true in a high current draw circuit where isolation is reduced as more current is drawn. As such, power amplifiers are the last place that you want to see a toroid, for this and other reasons. One of those other reasons is called "bass impact", which i tend to fancy just a bit. Sean
