HS-52 Inspired

[Recording Engineer]

Anyone out there making an HS-52 -like/inspired transformer with a 150ohm secondary? Can’t believe no one seems to make anything like it. I’ve been on the hunt for years to no avail. A couple of times, I’ve found someone doing something along these lines, but as soon as I want to buy one, they some how/some way are unpurchasable.

Maybe talk with member "igs" from UTM transformers:

Ah! It’s finally actually done and available! I kept my eye on his website for some years, but it’s been some more since I last looked! Thank you much! I put in an order!

Now, we’re still waiting for his K-241-D to see how it compares to Cinemag’s.

Please let us know how you like his transformers. I am very curious!

That original was 7 years ago.
Also, is that Sowter the 8344?
