I got a couple of 1000 VA from Canterbury (for the F5) and ,I did ask for audio Quality, they where making a racket, once you ear it you know is there, I complained and sent one back, It was sent away to be Vacum dipped and came back whit no Hum
If noise is there alla time probably same windings probably are not tight enough and dipping it may solve it ?

They Put the transformer in a autoclave inside a bucket of varnish/laquer, same time under vacuum not sure about the temperature 150C ?
Heat and vacuum get rid of air trapped between windings and as it cool down the spaces are filled by the varnish this stop the vibrations alegedley

IMO if I ever buy a trafo that big again I try Toroidy
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
