Massimiliano Magri explains the VHP version of Magnetosolid

It's very important to have a very high quality output transformer.
My research has continued to improve this component.
I decided to test a special material to produce the magnetical cores for the output transformers.
The cost of this special core is very, very high, but his performances are incredible:
with the identical wires geometry, with this core, the primary inductance is more than 10 times than ordinary core!
The damping factor is higher, the frequency response is bigger (in low and in high frequencies), the voices are more natural...
