Some of us aspire to greater heights. Obviously, you're not one of them and that's fine, but how dare you pass judgement on those that do and/or have. As such, your comments in this thread make you seem rather foolish. I would suggest you not comment any further and remove all doubt.
haha you're seriously one of the biggest **** i have ever seen on a forum. You try and make everyone else sound stupid, but you just make an **** out of yourself.
Go ahead make snide comment, i'll be waiting

Correct not all toroids are created equal but they do have some common traits that make them the preffered choice over standard EI core types.In general they are smaller for the same VA rating,have higher efficiency and have lower mechanical hum and stray magnetic fields.Transformer design can be quite an art, and companies like Plitron (a supplier to many a Hi end audio company) put a lot of research and development into designing their leading edge hi tech toroids.I've heard that it's DAMN hard to wind a good toroid...and therefore NOT ALL toroids are 'alike'; simply having a toroid doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Back to the topic at hand - I'll talk you into buying Emotiva. Just received my MPS-2 and the fact that you get to assemble this beast, lets you see the quality of the components and product generally.
I'm not necessarily into the "brand names" as such and if it sounds good to me, then I'm happy. I acknowledge that the big brand names have earned their stripes and reputation and deserve to be there, but sometimes they "trade" on that name with not essentially a better product than product X.
As stated previously, if you don't like the Emo product, you can certainly send it back and try something else. Good luck with your amp endeavours.Regards - Gaz from the land of Oz

Hello everyone. Been out of town as of late and haven't been checking CP on a regular basis (or at least not this section.) I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone that posted useful comments and advice in this thread.

I cannot be certain whether F1nut is correct in his assumptions stated below (although I do believe them to be probably true, since he wrote them and he is not, to the best of my knowledge, given to making statements such as these lightly)
