Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality?

If the transformer is not wrapped with low frequency high permeability mu metal sound quality will suffer. No two ways about it. The toxic effects of the induced magnetic field extends to everything within what, about a foot of the transformer? At least.

Magnetic field outside of toroidal transformer is theoretically zero.  It is completely contained inside of the core.  Toroidal transformer has no gaps making it more sensitive to presence of DC voltage.

EveAnna Manley is so convinced of this that they make their own trannies in house.

Theory doesn’t seem to hold for a lot of things in audio. I wrapped a toroidal transformer, the aftermarket transformer in my uber modded Oppo 103, and heard good results. Maybe it doesn’t take much leakage to be audible, who knows?

Does anyone know who supplies Levinson,Spectral or Boulder?

The heavier the better!
