Newbie question about Power transformer? I have been reading the pdf file that PSGR produced about the transformer required for a MM Cartridge. I have a shure m 97x, so I need the 24V 50VA transformer. Can I use the Hammond 166L24 which is a 24v 48VA transformer? It is cheaper from digikey than a 24v 50va toroidal transformer. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

The split bobbins are better for primary to secondary leakage capacitance. Such a scheme has some benefits of the R-Core but the right angle corners don't make it magnetically silent. I don't think that an electrostatic screen would not help as stated. Better than a toroid in my opinion, but will still need a separate or large box. PSGR, how is it going? We must collect some later stuff like schematic of the low MC and substitute the fixed regs with a universal V1.0 like Merlin's with trimmer and remote sensing for all voltages in a pdf sum up revision at a point, what do you think?
