I am truly sorry for your financial loss. But maybe it can comfort you a little to know that these transformer are completely worthless in tube-circuits due to low inductance and thereby low impedance (Brett, you are so right!)! The ones to feel really sorry for are the misled guys who got them and put lot of manhours into trying make them work.
It is terribly misleading to sell them as "input/phase splitter transformers" when you are in the "Tubes"-section........
Hi all,
I am not going to defend myself here.
Let me simply say - that unfortunately we all took a risk on this one, and as I found out they are not suitable for the intended purpose due to their low inductance. Shame, but it didn't cost much to find this out and they probably can be used for something else. I am wiser.
On the point about the one that went missing. Well I originally said I didn't want to send any to America because of this potential problem and the hassle of dealing with Dollars. When the final decision was made "dsavitsk" decided to go for the cheapest postal method, which didn't involve insurance. He knew the risks. Negations largely involved accusing me of ripping him off and expecting me to be out of pocket when I had done what I was asked to do. Eventually I got pissed off.
Lessons I have learned, don't bother because your effort is seldom rewarded and there is never gratitude in this life.
I am as dissapointed as the next man that these transformers haven't worked out for the intended purpose.

My idea has been to use them in a little experimental Opamp amplifier. Something like a OPA627 driving the tranformer into a pair of gainclones. More power than I could ever need but might be interesting.
The other idea was to use an OPA627 into the transformers and then mess about with some mosfets with 100V on the source. So if I could build a little transformer MOSFET amp.
The real issue is that to drive the transformers with the sort of impedance they need, you really need to use an OPAMP so theres no DC, or cap couple a driver transistor - which would need a nasty big Electro.
