Opamp Labs transformers opinions?

[fazeka]

Hi all,

Question on a potential transformer vendor for some of my builds.

Right now I am working on a "vari-mu" compressor project (PRR vari-mu - Bluebird mod) and an Altec 1566a clone project.

Have been trying to source good quality transformers without spending tons of $.

Ran across Opamp Labs transformers (yes, they require octal sockets which I have a bunch of) for a very good price and wondered what y'all thought?

Was thinking of using this for the input for the vari-mu...

this (reversed) for the interstage for the vari-mu and for the output for the mic pre, and

this for the output for the vari-mu:

Any reason why these would be less than ideal? Other opinions?

Cheers,
Chris

I recall inductance being low on some, which says assumption is bridging Z source, not matching Z source.

Fair enough. I guess you get what you pay for.

I hacked the T 30 which had crap steel, but those other models might be better,
