Is this true with dc-dc converter transformers (ferrite cored) as well? I 
was thinking of winding one (+/-720v primary, +/-4kv secondary, 250mA, 2 
kVA ) for a dc resonant tc (200khz, much lighter than 60hz version and only 
a small filter cap is needed). At $340 for a 5lb spool of 420/42 (similar 
for 40/42), if I could get away with using plain ol' 16/26 awg without 
losing effienciency that'd be great.
