Chris, may I ask you about this air core transformer for HF? When it decays at the bottom then how sharp is it? Is it usable right up to the roll-of or it should to be "given a space"? Also, did you do any listening evaluations of this air-core ...

Hi,[quote user="cv"]Fairly sure it was a typo, but the bigger the airgap, the *lower* the inductance, all else being equal.We need a large airgrap for a 6C33 due to the high current. The advantage is that the airgap linearises the BH characteristic o...

You can gap it for 250mA or for 300mA – you still have some spare inductance. From what I see Pieter gave you a very good price for that chunk of core. If I decide to keep my “experimental” full-range SET amp (Sun Audio) then I will get from him a be...

Not to go overboard after only 2 days of operation, but the Bent TAP (transformer-attenuator [passive] pre-amp) is a pip in my system.  It is as "neutral" as anything I am familiar with, compared to by-pass (with CD).  I love havi...
