I thought about that, I think that's a limitation to the AVC approach but not the the TVC approach. However, I found a 50/50% Permalloy and Z11 core that would not have the same saturation issues as a 100% Permalloy unit. I have an e-mail off to the manufacturer, so we'll see what he says. Since my power amp has no voltage gain, I think I may very well run into this issue.
