Been doing a little research and I've seen cases where using a huge industrial monster toroidal does a better job than the CineMag. The transformer looks to be about $100 with the option of chassis included.
Been in the middle of moving and will settle in over the next few weeks. Maybe by end of March I will get the thing built. It will work as an isolation transformer and can be placed between pre and amp as well. That is actually where I saw the implementation, between pre and amp.
I got the idea after looking at VALABs interconnect using transformers. They, VALAB that is, use a small tranny whereas the implementation I am thinking about would be heavy lifting. [i exaggerate slightly]
Been reading that 600ohm is not good enough and 1000ohm is the target. Iron of that sort costs many $$$. The toroidal would be effective at lower cost.
