[QUOTE="JNouw, post: 597367, member: 14329"] Don't look down on EI cores. If they are 'overdesigned' ie kept to around 75 to 80% of their capacity, they can give excellent results. If you do want to go the c-core route, make sure the design is good enough to warrant that, as OPT redesign is quite costly, and even an 'off the shelf' pair of c-core transformers won't be the cheapest thing around. That money could easily be used to upgrade in other areas of the amp where you might just get better performance. [/QUOTE]
