Hi,

The 300B had whatever it took to overcome the internal LC properties to extend the response. Go figure!

Not just the 300B on its own but the whole circuit is responsible for extending the stated bandwidth of the OPT.

Some circuits are more apt to be mated to such OPTs others may well fall short.

Not being the biggest fan of SE amps, at least not for FR service, I know that applying brute force PSU design can make a whimpy SE sound great...but it comes at a cost.
An unespected side effect is that they seem to be much more powerful with the right PSU.

What it boils down to, as usual, is that attention paid to PSU design often pays off big time.

No free lunch in electronics, I'm afraid..😉
 
Hi,

I'm looking to make some tranformer type inductors for my speaker cross-overs. They're made out of 12 AWG wire and going to be 12 mH. I think I should be looking for some CRGO steel cores (I already have the wire I need). I'm not sure on the specs or where to get the cores though. But I do know when done the transformer should look like this: http://home.hetnet.nl/~geenius/sales.html

Can any body tell me what specs I should be looking for or where I should be looking for these cores? Also not that important, but what's the difference between CRGO silicon steel and CRGO steel?
