Interesting read. I will say this that in my experience, I have had less hum problems from the EI transformers than the toroids-strange. I assume Bryston uses these.
My past Belles toriod was relatively loud at times as was the Parasound JC1's toroids. The Parasound transformers were especially loud with any dimmers or other electrical stuff going on.\My Ayre V5x uses an EI and it is dead silent. It is also the quietest amp I have used-period.
