[QUOTE="marantz123, post: 846751, member: 16849"] Thank you Mars. So, no adverse effects then ? Triode indicated that the spec of the improved transformer is as the original, except for a thicker lamination stack of newer iron for better cooling...hence the idea of new iron and easy way to achieve a thicker false stack...to get the cooling benefit. Why invest in a $200 transformer just for that. ( they also mention new resins in use) Great quality iron, and more of it = less losses, hence less heat in a power transformer? Its something i would try at some point if i find it possible without damaging anything. If its heavily potted then probably a no-go for me. Before/after temp measurements etc. of course to prove this. Beyond that is out of my scope on this, except listening tests. Thank you for responding to my PM on this. BR Marantz123. [/QUOTE]
