Just wanted to say my order went out super quick and arrived looking every bit as excellent as the pictures! Haven't gotten around to installing but no doubt it'll sound as great as it looks.
Thank you, please report after test.
 
Can you provide dimensions for what you currently have available? Interested in trying some of these out for some summing bus and preamp builds.
 
Hi Kraftwerk.
I promised to gives my impressions of 1166VT i got some month ago but like always life in the way ( lost a job, found a new one recently,...).
Anyway i eventually got opportunity to compare them to a Vintech 73 and Sowter 8751. As i still don't have mic input iron i did a 283AM and we drived both unit from converters output ( Antelope).
There was a tiny difference between both but both my friend and i think it comes from the Vintech input transformers, mine was driven direct.
The differences between the 8751 and Vintech were more obvious to us but it could had been bias as the comparison was sighted ( no ABX). In the end we concluded they all sound great but with slight differences.

Anyway i am more than happy and the Vintech owner impressed. Both of us had access to original units when we worked in 'big' commercial studios and we agreed the differences ( if not because of biasing) would have been not worst than between two original.

Great sounding transformers.

OT: Kraftwerk apologize for the delay but what i purposed is still ok and now my situation is stabilised it won't take long to happen.

yes, input transformer gave noticeable impact on sound.

Yes, I have fiew Lo1166, they are sounding different, some of them with big differences.
I choose one I like and tune my transformers to have that sound.
Now sound of my transformers is repeatable, matched to one each other,
As i still don't have mic input
soon I will have 3 types Inputs , Line, Micro and one input based on steel core.
Great sounding transformers.
Thanks, Im proud of this product, but main goals go to Cj and this forum.
