KSA 100-S toroidal tranformer versus square E & I.... Would appreciate any owners first hand experience in this reagard, true sonic differences? Or really hype and no discernable difference between the two that would affect a purchase decision? Thx

I had one with the cut core transformer. The only reason it was in the ksa-100s, was a shortage of the "torid" for the 100s. I sold it to a friend and it developed a hum traced to the transformer. They replaced it with the Toroidal transformer.
He never commented it sounded better.
Some believe cut core are better and some toroidal.
Good Luck,
