I like this approach. Gives builders a nice at-a-glance and an easy to find reference.You tempt me to try and list my projects (though not here, so as not to hijack)...
Can I ask what is the difference between
Choked Singing Bush ..... special one for Purists and Masochists and
Warbler MOS Schade MOS SIT choke loaded follower power amp
if I am going to use the THF-51S ?
Thanks.

Choked Singing Bush - amp with voltage gain, having a choke as SIT Drain load (instead of Mu Follower, as in Singing Bush)
Warbler - amp without voltage gain, having a choke as SIT Source load, so entire amp being Source follower
now - as title of CSB sez - beware
Warbler needing less critical choke, SIT having much lesser effective Rout loaded at Source, so demanding choke of not so big inductance and Rdc of it less critical
I have no intention of selling kits for Choked Singing Bush; I reckon there will be practically 0 interest
in fact , will post Gerbers in thread so Masochists are welcome to do it on its own

If I use THF-51S, can I get around 40W to 50W in both Choked Singing Bush and Warbler Amp?
Thanks.
Thanks.
yes, in both cases
say 35Vdc rail, say 3A2 Iq
though, as I said , going CSB route - best to have capable Winder guy as very close personal friend

CSB is wilder, showing more of SIT character, euphonic
follower ...... more polite, due to lesser THD; take in account that it can be made with IXYS Pucks too
so, can't say which one is better - that's matter of one's taste
well, that's sentence of the day

I prefer your comment about boutique transformers/chokes made by beautiful virgins on the full moon nigh (presumably naked) - that your Winder is not beautiful nor virgin, but winds very fine transformers. 🤣though, as I said , going CSB route - best to have capable Winder guy as very close personal friend
CodyT, you can include this one, maybe useful to some Greedy Boy;
