[Amps] New HF amplifier

[Larry Benko]

What are you using as the basis for this blanket comment?  There is 
absolutely nothing wrong with tapped toroids.  What causes problems is 
treating them as is usually done for air core coils which have the 
unused turns shorted out.  On a toroid you do NOT short out any turns if 
some of the turns are active.  Otherwise you get significant loss and 
heating in the toroid.
