Where to buy the Carnhill VT30408 transformer in the USA??

[Carl_Huff]

I was following the recent thread on the Focusrite mic preamp and decided that I wanted to experiment with output transformer. But question is, where do I buy it?? I have emailed Carnhill in the UK twice and have yet to get a response of any kind. Can I buy these from a vendor here in the USA?

I'm not totally sure (researched this a long time ago) but I think Vintech is their U.S. dealer and Carnhill If my memory serves me right also makes the 1073 inductors, so once I tried to purchase them from Vintech but all he did was give me the run around. He's the only
U.S. dealer but his only interest is in selling his Neve clones and making sure no one else has access to reproducing the 1073. So I contacted Carnhill and after ten emails and no response I finally got through and they said they were going to put pressure on Vintech to actually sell the inductors, but I got discouraged and gave up.

Sounds like a business opportunity to me!
