OT question

[surfsup]

I saw a post here from about a year ago (forgot to grab the link) that the poster stated the Hammond 125DSE (10W 70mA DC) runs very hot with an EL34. If I wanted to upgrade this, what transformer would work well for me for the p1x HO build? I looked at the heyboer they are selling (20W) and its $65. I am going to build it first with the Hammond but just curious if there's a tone difference between OTs. I can always use one of the OTs in another build.

Form money and tone, I don't think you'll beat Musical Power Supplies:

About half the price of a Hammond.

I'll check em out. Thanks.

Another question. on the wires leading from the transformer(s) is there any reason to NOT cut them to the length I need an have no extra? Or should I leave the extra and just coil it in the amp body?

Coils? NO. You will have to be creative, and still suffer some anyhow. Coils create inductance. Right?



Better off using the one you intend to use, and trimming it.
