Thanks for jogging my memory. I recall reading an article about this particular disadvantage of toroids.I wonder, though, if the PS filtering won't eliminate HF noise.
To quote from a site I read up on sometime ago (http://members.tripod.com/~gabevee/mypwrsup.htm ) where the author was talking about SS diode induced hash in a power supply...
"
A 3 henry choke at 120 hertz has a reactance of about 2300 ohms. The same choke at 10 to 20 kilohertz, the region where hash likely is, will have a reactance of:Xc=2PiFL=6.28x10 000x3=188400
A whopping 188 Kilohms!, How the heck can hash get past that
