My cap is .0275 so that is LTR for the calculated .0212uf system, so im not 
getting any resonant advantage from the transformer.  But still, quite 
awesome.  I cant wait for my larger 6 or 8" thick toroid, now i only have 
4.5"x 26", and i still break out in more than one place with a long rod 
sticking out.
