I bought a few Audio-Technica preamps from a tech recycling store. Hoping for input transformers. No luck. Toa had pretty lame-looking phone-line transformers.
I found a Peavey Architectural Acoustics SMR-6 with 4 channels having mic input transformers. I measured the inductance pri/sec once but didn't put it in a safe place. I could repeat it & extract Z-ratio then n-ratio. But this seemed like a good place to inquire whether anyone knows their +/- attributes.
Purpose is not for anything studio-exotic...making a suitcase amp for my daughter who uses a lavalier ECM on a violin...triode-pentodes, maybe 1-2 low-Z mic inputs, 1-2 hi-Z instrument inputs. Just because I've scavenged enough parts.
I do have a pair of 9-pin multi-shielded 50's 50/200 ohm:grid (can never remember their name...from N.Hollywood, Ca.) that are decent, but the 4 Peavey xfmrs are conveniently on one PCB.
Thanks
