John,
To properly compare a small magnifier and a classic TC, we would
have to quench on the first beat freq. notch, I have not been able to
achieve this in a small magnifier even at a loose k = .29. I don't
know if anyone has had better quenching results. I guess one way
to compare would be to *degrade* the quench of the classic coil to
match that of the magnifier. A strange concept, but it may shed a
little light.
