Any advice on building a push-pull amplifier with toroidal OPTs?

[QUOTE="Den123, post: 1028638, member: 13454"] I have read the van der Veen books and like his design approach, very simple. He does go very deeply into transformer design though. Interestingly, he admits that the amplifiers using his toroidal transformers may exhibit a little less of the legendary "valve amp sound" as there is less of the ear-pleasing even harmonic distortion. I am presently busy with a project (slowly....) using KT88s and Polish manufactured Toroidal OPTs (stainless steel encased to look good). Good specifications on the transformers. [/QUOTE]
