If I can't find an amorphous core for a reasonable price, it’ll be Harbuch.What is Harbuch’s *Antrim?Thanks
I'm no transformer expert, but I'm surprised amorphous cores make a difference in a power supply. In a tube output stage I can understand because you're reproducing a complex musical signal, but power supply is just 50Hz AC!
hi TimS,I buy the Harbuch ones because, they were a similar price (a little cheaper if you manage a discount), better quality, made a few kilometers down the road, offer 3 versions of 25-0-25 160VA but I can't say if they sound better or worse than a Jaycar one. My only Jaycar toriod buzzes, but it's probably a one off. BTW: That link is to Jaycar NZ?regards
... I am in NZ .... If I use blackgate cap, fancy resistor and wire in a $800+ diy project, I'll choose Antrim.Have fun,Sam

I was lucky enough to score 2 that are silent. They make a slight hum/buzz on application of power but once the flux has stabilised they are quiet.
