So far, my experience has been good. They are built conservatively and seem to hit their spec'd targets under load without getting too hot.

I have this for my Tubelab Simple SE:

XPWR035: 370-0-370 @ 200mA, 6.3 VCT @ 5A, 5V @ 2A

...and I had this one custom-made for a Tubelab SE:

XPWR131: 320-260-0-260-330 @ 175mA, 6.3 V CT @ 4A, 5V @ 3A

They are designed electrically very optimally, in terms of quality per cost, otherwise my Pyramid-V and Pyramid-VII amps would not sound sooo goood. However, I had to fight with ringing above 30 Khz, but it is a minor issue...

I have purchased two custom power transformer from them for amplifier projects. Both transformers are very well built and perform spot on the the design objective I gave to Phyllis. Phyllis has been very help full and seem to have a good understanding of what I am talking about when I discus custom design details with her. I would highly recommend them as a source for your project power transformer needs. The last transformer I ordered was for my 300 B project and this transformer like the first one runs without excessive heat and is hum free all the time.

Has anybody tried the XPWR149-120/240 yet? What's its output voltage under load?

Thanks,
