100-X update.

[CJ]

Ask the rep if they will handle .002 wire.
Some of the cheaper ones won't.

Just figured out that hand winding allows the detedtion of kinks in the wire, which will evetually break.
I have not found one kink in any of the x-formers I have unwound.
I f they caught you winding a kink, you were out the door immediately.
Hands can detect very small particles, and a kink on .001 wire is very small!
A machine winder will not detect kinks.

Any UTC that is cheap would be good if it's line level, mic in, splitter, bridging, whatever.
Hopefully they are the same core as the models made popular by vintage equipment hype.

hmmm

I have an HA101X sitting here

wonder if I could rewind it into a HA100X

 

[CJ]

there are 100 layers at about 90 turns a layer in the 100X.
.002 wire, 9000 turns. go for it!
:grin:

Small hands definately help.
You know what they say, small hands, tighter ..............windings!

Hi cjenrick,
Interesting stuff. I was wondering how audible the difference is. Can you tell much difference between the different HA-100X models when listening?
Thanks,
Scott

Whats does that X version have over the ?regular? HA-100?

 

[Scenaria]

the X designation means that it was provided with a little more shielding...

What do you want to use a 100X for?
It's a piece of crap compared to Triad, Peerless, Jensen-LL-Sowter.

But if you want high end roll off for that vintage sound then go for it.

 

[daArry]

well, i'm just continuing to source parts when i see em for the la2a clone project i started way bak when...

 

[CJ]

There not bad. Just don't pay 200 like I did.

 

[fazeka]

I think for $200 you could get the inny and outty from Jensen. :grin:
