Hello Alan / Manfred,
Do you thinking this size core is over the top in the combiner, I don't
mind the cost if it has good overhead, but maybe using more wire
length on a (much) bigger core has negatives I am unaware of. I am
planning a GS35b tube amp on LF, but for now this twin FET amp
combining is working well, if inefficiently heating the shack as well!
