output transformer suggestions

Post by Mainetone »

Curious if anyone has a suggestion for a 2 x el84 Liverpool output transformer with 8 and 16 ohm secondaries?

Ive built Liverpool, Rocket and a Zwreck clone using an 8ohm output with 2 x el84 using Hammond trannys gutted from organ amps with great success,
this is the first with switchable impedance.

Thanks for any suggestions

I've used special order OT from TAG member dartanion. Also, Heyboer Marshall 18w OT from Turretboards.com 4R/8R, and others. They all sound good.

Might look in the for sale, there is a guy selling sets PT and dual OT there now. Looks like a good deal too for the set.
Might also try Bob Rienhardt [Amps], I think he had some transformer sets for sale.

I'm curious how you liked the Rocket vs. Zwreck. I kept switching back and forth between the two and never got to truly a/b them. What was your dropping string for Zwreck?
Rj has the OT you are looking for as well. He is a member here.

I really like these, put one on my old Traynor and it's a beast and getting ready for a new build with one. Not on the cheap side of things. Also what about an AC15 OP trans?
