James output transformers

[kstylianos]

Bringing up an old thread again. I used James OPT's for a 300B build years ago, but Euphoria Audio (supplier) is now out of business. Does anyone know a supplier, or more specifically where to purchase James model# 6255HF (150mA 5k)?

Thanks gents.

James transformers is out of production from april 2017.
Too bad, very !

Thanks for the info, Rajko. Very sad, indeed. Great bang for $$.

James stopping production

Yes, very sad. I've visited their factory a few times and found both James and Shirley to be extremely pleasant and professional. As of mid last year, James was still winding, but just on a very small scale for local Taiwanese clientele.

I had recommended these opt for a friend for which I’m building a SE kt88 amp. That’s unfortunate for James.
Looks like I have to find a different manufacturer.

Maybe on eBay you may find some
NP Acoustics maybe worth a shot
Their specs for more expensive models line up with Tamura 5000 Amorphous also out of production
Cheapo stuff like Dabura are putting the squeeze on quality transformers nowadays
It's Holiday time in Asia till end feb but March you will get replies ok
Good luck

Heyboer Transformers (USA) will design and make a transformer to your spec.
Then you have the japanese R-Core transformers at $120 a pop.
