Cool can we get some more in-depth datasheets for the J Series Audio Transformers, the website is very lacking.

Do you sell small quantities (i.e., 1-2 pcs) of J-series transformers? And if so, is there a price list? Thanks!

I called them once, they were not doing direct sales. Master Electronics has some in stock they are not cheap.

Planning to bring back HS series?

We are working on getting datasheets for all the J Series completed and uploaded. Check out the datasheet for the A-11J. What additional details would you like to see?

www.OnlineComponents.com is stocking them. Unfortunately, they are expensive to manufacture. We're building them in our California facility (USA) using the original paper-layered winding method, nickel lamination and deep-drawn mu-metal shield cans. We've upgraded the lead-wires to higher temp Teflon insulation vs. the original PVC making them easier to solder. In any case, the A-11J was $19.20 each in 1960, adjusted for inflation that would be $199.65 in 2023, so the price has actually decreased: www.onlinecomponents.com/en/triad-magnetics/a11j-12695159.html

Planning to bring back HS series?

Yes, the HS series is slated for reintroduction as well, but only these models at this time as they all use the same deep-drawn mu-metal shield can: HS-1, HS-4, HS-5, HS-8, HS-23, HS-25, HS-27, HS-29, HS-50, HS-52, HS-54 and HS-56.

"Only" those? Darn (kidding, this is great)

This is badass. I love that a huge company like Triad is doing a sort of passion project. Kind of like Pilot making fountain pens.

 

[mross]

Very excited!!! Great news!

Thank you for making these products available again.

Just saw that Mouser stocks some of the "A" series models now with datasheets hosted. Not cheap but also not significantly more $$ than recent used selling prices on eBay and Reverb... and they're brand new.

Respect that they're around! A friend of mine is planning to try some out in the future; will report back.

edit: Digikey has some too quite a bit cheaper than Mouser for some models (A-9J 50/250/600:85k is $129 from Digikey which is way the hell cheaper than the only used one on eBay right now for $240 lol)

I should grab one of the A Series for a classic Motown passive DI, but I don’t know which to grab. Is there a high number of collective opinion?

 

[j.colt]

Get the A-11J, it's the same transformer used in the Acme Motown DI.

Has the HS series made it into production? I see them listed on the website, but I'm not having any luck finding them for sale anywhere. Direct order only, perhaps?

I tried emailing them recently (a few days ago?) regarding the HS-52… To see if they’re available to order yet, or otherwise, if they had any idea when it’ll be ready, but no reply.

Yes there are a few out there: https://www.masterelectronics.com/en/keywordsearch?text=Triad+HS

 

[Clbraddock]

Anyone found any more distributors for the HS transformer? The site linked above seems a bit off. They have the new HS-29 (they call is HS-239) listed for over $1,500.00 each.

Hi, I think the parts in Master's inventory are legacy parts. Master has been distributing Triad for 50 years and accumulated quite a bit of inventory over the years. We have not released the reissued HS parts to distribution yet, but they're coming soon! Keep an eye on Master's site.
