Oh, man, I never even considered such a configuration! Now that would have worked for me too (and probably would have cost a little less)!
So let me get this straight -- you ordered a bigger chassis (not the smaller BP-jr chassis) with two 300VA balanced transformers inside instead of one 300VA and one 1000VA transformer? If so, that's very cool. That would probably be the best bang-for-the-buck configuration for a dedicated headphone rig. I didn't even think about that. Do I have your configuration right?

Hamsta,
Unless you want to put the ferrites on a headphone cord, I'd probably recommend a bigger ferrite with the looping first (since it sounds like you're using it for a thinner wallwart cord). Of course, if you're going to use it on a headphone cord (I have two little ones on each of my home headphone cords), then finding the little ones would be worthwhile.

raymondlin, before I purchased the Brick Wall, I did use several ferrites for noise suppression (suppressing noise from my refrigerator and sump pump primarily) by placing ferrites on the power cords of my offending equipment, as well as my headphone rig.
I mention it in the following post:

Originally posted by morphsci BTW, looks like I will be buying a custom BPT transformer also. It will be two BP Jrs in a bigger case. I am very impressed with BPT and their willingness to make sure you have the exact product you need. |

Originally posted by Serow Raymondlin, whenever there is current flowing through a wire, there must be a corresponding magnetic field created around the wire. The ferrites act as filter, presenting a resistance to the high frequency magnetic fields only. |
