On the basis of past good experience with them I would recommend talking to Canterbury Windings http://www.canterburywindings.co.uk/standard_range.html. They specialise in toroidal transformers for audio equipment and they do understand the need for negligible noise in all respects. Perhaps the TM105A or TM301A parts from their Audio Grade list would be suitable ? Just to be clear, I have no connection with Canterbury except as a satisfied customer. But I have found them very helpful to deal with. |
The 2 that I have sound like wasps in a bean tin it is worse when the lid is on as that to vibrates as well even with the damping pad fitted . Quad used to replace them as a matter of course but they are well out of any warranty by now . As Trevor and Vidjoman say most have been changed by now
