Marantz has the 8500, Denon has a 4802r, are there others?

NAD T762, T763, T773, CA Azur 540R, Arcam AVR200, (AVR250?), AVR300, Rotel 1067, (1056?).

I think the Sherwood Newcastle R-965 and R-865 ($2K and $1.5K list) have toroidal power supplies. www.sherwoodusa.com

Is toroidal supposed to be as good as A.D.E. MOS FET (used in Pioneer Elite)?

Torroidal is the name given to a donut shape. Sometimes torroidal transformers are used in power supplies. It is the transformers shape and has nothing to do with a MOSFET.

The benefits of a toroidial transformer are more power with smaller size and 40-50% less magnetical disturbance.


That's why some receivers with normal pack-EL-transformers do have shielding/faraday cage around the transf. For ex. NAD T743, T753, Denon AVR2105.

I knew about some of these but was also looking for prices...sorry , I could look them up myself

Also, mostly interested in current models.

Thanks tvtech & Landroval for the clarification.
