Yup. I got quote from TOROIDY.PL:
Audio grade: 47,80 EUR/pc
Audio Supreme version: 94,60 EUR/pc
Shipping to US: 47,00 EUR
If anyone in US wants to save on shipping - let me know - we can try to combine orders 😉
Custom Toroidal
Swiftheat & Control is open for business again, though at a lower capacity due to the current regulations here. I have spoken to the sales person (Jan Senekal) and he says they do export to wherever requested, but they ask the client to arrange with a courier of their own choice to collect and deliver. I have weighed the trafo that I had made and it is 1250 grammes. However, mine is over-specced and is thus heavier than specced as per Oliver. The dimensions are 90 mm diameter and 50 mm high. I paid (in SA Rands) R460 but that included delivery to me. You are welcome to send Mr Senekal an e-mail at jan.at.switheat.com and he will provide a quote to your specification. The box to ship the trafo in will probably be 120 mm x 120 mm x 100 mm as there will be bubble wrap as well. Total weight should not be more than 1.8 kg. I hope this info helps. The other option is of course the R-core, which I got from this seller along1986090 on eBay and was quite quick to arrive.

Personally, Nay! But that is because if you want to tweak it by replacing a cap here, a resistor there .....

P.S. Of course that would depend on the humidity in your area. That could muck up many things.

I have very much been enjoying listening to my build of this excellent phono-stage; just waiting on a case from Modushop and I can get it properly housed.
Thank you Ferret for follow-up but I went for Audiophonics. It wasn't that expensive after all and customs overhere is always kind of a gamble. Sometimes they let pass a box big and heavy like an amp and sometimes they block a package small as a matchbox...
Kind regards - Koen.

Hi Koen,
It is a pleasure. I too would stay with a local supplier if possible - much easier if there's a problem.
