Re: How to Determine Toroid Size

24.192.3.19

Up until recently, double C cores, provided superior regulation, to that of most commonly available toroidal types. ALL double C core transformers provide:

Much better space efficiency (unless the amplifier chassis is cylindrical)
Far superior mains noise isolation.

Double C core transformers are tricky to build right though. Toroidals are much easier (cheaper).

Like everything, though, you should look at ALL the specs of a transformer, before choosing.
