Chris,

Generally, the higher voltage transformers will give better results,
due to lower losses in tank circuit, and fewer spark gap problems.
When I run one of my coils using a 15kV, 60ma transformer, I get
64" sparks, but when i run the same coil using a 7.5kV, 120ma
transformer, I get only 57" sparks (even after increasing the capacitor
size).
