RE: Thanks all - but still wondering about potential effect of core materials

Not really my area Deke... I do think core materials matter for plate chokes, FWIW. Quality nanocrystal would be my first choice, followed by one of the really Hi-B types. This based on Dave's comments here and elsewhere and those of some engineers in SE Asia that have been winding on a range of cores for 20+ years. On balance, in the hands of good winders, I found in favour of nanocrystal. I've had chokes and output transformers made from it and been very pleased. But I think a really nice, if a bit different flavour, amp can be made with nickel too.
