Hello, I need some help with transformer math...
I have these 2 transformers between my headphone amp's balanced output and unbalanced output, I would like to upgrade them but I don't know what transformers are suitable replacements in place of the originals so here we go...
Desoldering the transformers and measuring open circuit with no load, the transformers show that measuring at 1kHz, the Inductance is 185.2mH with a Q-factor of 1.18. Both ends have the same inductance value hence I believe that the transformer ratio is 1:1. I'm quite lost from this point because to my understanding, there is a formula that gives you the REACTIVE impedance of the transformer but this isn't too helpful for me as i want to know the nominal(?) impedance of a transformer (i.e. 600:600 ohm transformer), can anyone pls explain how I should proceed from this point?
Many thanks!
