  • T80-2 has Optimum Resonant Circuit Range for highest Q and lowest core loss
    • 250 KHz - 10 MHz
  • T80-6 has better characteristics
    • Optimum Resonant Circuit Range for highest Q and lowest core loss
    • 3 MHz - 40 MHz
  • Don't have any T80-6 but I do have T37-6

Ceramic Disc Caps

  • High voltage quality caps
    • Ceramic - should these be silver mica caps?
    • Ceramic caps are 10x cheaper than silver mica caps
      • 100pF, Silver Mica cap, P/N: CDV16FF101JO3F, $1.40 (per, qty 10)
      • 100pF, Ceramic cap, P/N: CC45SL3AD101JYNNA, $0.14 (per, qty 10)
    • Will the ceramic caps cause Microphonics or is that only an issue in gain stages?
      • SL caps are single layer
