Hey, I`m kidding - just watched Harry Potter`s 4th movie (not that I`m too impressed, simplified and too dark for my liking ). Opinions and critique are welcomed!
As I can see it, design process is dealing with compromisses and personal opinions - someone can think that 0 mA DC / max. inductance is a right "path", another one that smaller L with gap is the better. Some people think that one of the reasons for good SE OPT/amp sound is linearer (although smaller) inductance, `cos of the gap...other people prefer parafeed.
I have limited experience in this "gap field", I only can "confess" that with my high-L PP toroidal OPTs even small DC imbalance of a few mA "hurts" sonics...
BTW - how do you like your grid chokes - opinions, findings?
