RE: [TCML] Toroides on Isolators -?

["Lau, Gary" <Gary.Lau@xxxxxx>]

There is no functional reason to use any sort of insulator anywhere on a secondary/topload.  In dual toroid systems, the two toroids must be electrically connected to each other.  Putting an insulator with a conductive shaft within between them is silly, IMHO.  Perhaps stylish in some circles.  I just use a large metal can.
