I just ordered a couple sets of the Edcor XSE10-8-5Ks and lead time is out to 8 weeks.

My Wife's powered speakers on her computer are on the fritz, so I figure it is an opportunity to build a small SE stereo amp as a replacement.

Who is ordering all the transformers?

Edcor has other customers that order big quantities. They make these small quantity and 1-off designs for the DIY and specialty business community, but we have to wait for them to have time. The big accounts get priority and that's fine with me given their pricing to us.

Why they don't stock their more popular OPTs, I don't know. I wish they would, but again keeping inventory costs money...cost that has to be passed on to us.

I bought a couple of Edcor's a little while back. They quoted me a lead time but the transformers showed quite a bit sooner than quoted.

Yeah....
You have to be patient if you want Edcor. The good news is the iron for my Millett DCPP is on the way (almost 7 weeks after I ordered). I should have the red board singing by this weekend.

Bad news is the xfmrs I ordered for my Tubelab Simple Push-Pull will arrive sometime in June!!

Hopefully this does not violate any posting regs.

I vaguely remember the cartoon from the 70s, although I don't remember what magazine it was in.
