Allo,
Actually, Dave makes it perfectly clear. Take a look at the forum and FAQ at www.intactaudio.com
He puts a lot of effort in making sure the TVC is suited for the system in mind - there are custom options for those (including higher inductance) and indeed, all his magnetics.
Otherwise, we don't disagree; Dave's is pretty much a custom shop, which is exactly what the dedicated and knowledgeable individual needs for magnetics. The knowledgeable bit is key, because it does take some understanding merely to specify magnetics properly (witness all the BS on tubediy by some *manufacturers* who should know better...).
That's the other big plus of his site to my mind - education. Blend in some good ol fashioned empiricism to find out what does and doesn't work well (no matter what engineering theory tells us) and it's a winning recipe.
Best,
cv
