But I still managed to carry two 1.5KV transformers home using the city bus. Many breaks required.

just curious, what is their diameter? I'm working on a case and if it is large enough to handle one of these, I'll consider it a "upgrade proof" design.

This is what I got,

Powertronix
25v-0-25v 20A
30v-0-30v 0.1A
7-3/16" diameter
2 -3/8" height
>20 lbs each.

I purposely did not pick those Piltron as they are heavier. I think they may be another 1/2" wider in diameter.

and here i was thinking that a pair of 300VA toroids with dual 18v secondaries would be future proof enough for me... wow.

Some are older types, some don't pass the stethoscope test.

How old?
What is the stethoscope test?
Do you test the transformers with a stethoscope to evaluate the noise performance?
A true low noise shouldn't be audible by a doctor stethoscope's inspection?

Usually transformers that passed the actual test are better sounding than those ones who haven't passed it indeed?

I sincerely don't care about weight and i rather prefer a heavier transformers than a lighter which gives me the idea of something not as consistent.
I already seen a proper casing for these transformers and stuff.
If you wanna know some dimensions of a similar Plitron's beast, take a look at here

What is the difference from the previous models and the newer models?

What makes me wonder is that from an expensive product as a low noise plitron transformer you still need to select them for an even lower noise level.
Is this so relevant?

Would it be possible to purchase a couple of your newer model plitron transformers?
Or do you think that for better performance i would have to order one from the factory?
But if i haven't misanderstood even ordering one from them i can get a transformer that wouldn't pass the stethoscope test, right?

huummm!!

emmm....just re-read the post and it seems i am refering to Nelson when i pointed the link for some dimensions eheheh.....i was giving it to luvdunhill that was wondering about sizes
