Sorry for digging up.
Been reading a while, still have a question...
I have an Ampex 600 that I am rebuilding. The line input is unbalanced, 10K.
I want to have it transformer balanced, and I have 600:600 Edcors... I'll try them anyway, but should I start looking for 600:10K in order to avoid problems?
I know transformers acts kind of as a lens, so my guess is that if I feed the input of my tape machine with a modern line level / impedance it should be about fine (approx 10K) but if I use the output let's say of my 1176, which is 600 ohms, then the tube will see 600 ohms input and I'll have a sh*tty freq response?
Sorry if dumb question...
