The magnet wire chosen by the manufacturer of my favorite R-Core transformer is complete rubbish. I want to upgrade it, and "roll my own". Has anybody any good suggestions for "audio-grade" magnet wire in power transformers? Has anyone used foil or wire of square or rectangular cross-section when winding power transformers? Any manufacturers to look out for (besides Cardas, Vampire, Belden). Any comparisons?
Sorry for the unglamorous topic, but I cannot endure seeing my Furutech-equipped, ERS-rolled, 6N OFC shielded super power cables feed into 250ft of highly impure 30AWG Chinese magnet wire!
