German or Polish quality. Hm.
I know toroidy.pl and owner 10+ years. I bought more than 15 trafos both in normal and audio grades. Some were even made with really strange voltages. Once i asked to have my nick on trafo label. Never got any problem. Never heard hum or buzz. And owner makes valve amps for fun. Search no more...
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again, toroidy makes awesome transformers. Beautiful quality, exactly to specifications, silent. No hum, no buzz, and I have not run into any problems with stay fields yet (the audio series has a Gauss band).I have several of their transformers ranging from 50VA to 600VA in use. Phono pre, preamps, headphone amps, power amps. I certainly won't be looking for another manufacturer, toroidy is the bee's knees.

rodeodave is right. I wish I lived in Europe so I could get TOROIDY transformers without spending a fortune in freight.

fabrice63 is even more right. For stereo to really work there needs to be two completely separate channels. NO shared power supplies between channels for the best effect. Let the lazy try to convince you otherwise that a cap here and a wire placed there (just so) will make it as good as two transformers. They probably say the same thing about mp3s ...
 
I can give another good source: RONDO Müller- a little Manufacturer here.
My Amplimo NL 18V-300VA is huming time to time too like Sedlbaur, also a Talema 225VA is doing that hum any times.
Toroidy has to high shipping costs here- with that you came up to by from other.
