Dwight,

I personally have had good luck with all types of NSTs, even before the
Fritz filter.  I have run a 15kV 60mA NST for 20 min solid on a TC, and it
was warm but ok. A few minutes run never seems to heat mine up at all. I am
very careful about my safety gap settings and such.

Just one data point.
