What coils? (Modding a sonic T)
« on: 25 Oct 2006, 12:32 pm »
Hey all,

I'm looking to replace the coils in my class T amp, but have been undecided as what to use.

I originally looked at air core ones like these: http://www.autocostruire.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=42&products_id=270&osCsid=e50147afd4248d799d250595868dcef8

But then, I noticed you stated the signiture 30 uses: 'Hand-wound toroid output filter inductors (favored over air-core inductors for better bass definition, speed, dynamics, and lower noise)', and considering the stunning review you got on 6moons, I'll follow your route :wink: 8).

What model are they? Ferrite cores I presume?

Thanks to all who can shed some light. :)

Hi Reverie,

Welcome to Audiocircle.

I use hand-wound toroids that are custom made locally for me. 

I moved your post over to the Lab because you might get some good DIY suggestions over here.  You might also want to post on www.diyaudio.com (Class D forum). 

Best regards,

Vinnie

Thanks Vinnie! I'll try looking where you suggested.

What material core do your toroids have may I ask?

Henry - now replying to your PM :D.
