Hello everyone, my two 2x15V toroids arrived and i just realized that the secondaries give 3 wires, 15-0-15. They are center tapped, not isolated, so no-no for the phantom double It's not my fault, as there was no pic in the site and description was just "2x15V toroid".
Can i use at least the second and find another one for the first?

Why not save yourself a lot of parts and pain and just get this:

Well i had seen this, but decided to go locally this time, trying to support the local market  as the situation here is really bad after many months of total lockdowns.
They all work online.
And this was exactly the reason the mistake was done. In normal conditions i would go down my local shop and see by my own the trafos. The same happened with the rotary switches. While the two 1x12 arrived as described, the other six 4x3 came with solderable cups instead of pcb mount ordered. So i am already in a process of having returned and replaced them by this shop. Then i realized the trafo's issue  :mad: damn
And the funniest part of the story is that those components were indeed the most xpensive of the total order. Passives are pretty cheap as we all know. I will ask for refund this time.
 
Considering you don't need a lot of current for the phantom power, you don't need isolated secondaries.
