Toroidal transformer on tube amp


Why are toroids so popular in solid-state amplifiers but so uncommon in tube amplifiers?
They are said to send less EMI and interference to nearby components, among other benefits.

Is there a reason why solid-state designs are "so good" but tube amplifiers aren't?
Why not use them as output transformers?


I've never used EI transformers and have always relied on toroidals.
But, in any case, I've never built a tube amplifier.

How does Balaced Audio Technology get away with using them on their tube amps?
