Hello,
I have TRIBUTE transformers as follows:
INTERSTAGE FINEMET CORES 1: 0.8, current 20ma, 130Henry, 639 ohms, 307 ohms (2 pieces)
SE LINE OUT FINEMET c core, Prim. imp. 20K - sec. imp.790R (4: 2.5), current 10ma, prim L 160Henry, 540hms, 380 ohms (2 pieces).
Please can help me to determine the approximate value for the listed good transformers.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Best regards from Croatia

Moved to Tubes.I have line preamp with 26 tube, and use Noguchi 24K/600 R with Finemet core.
I don't know which is better. I will have to connect a Tribute line out transformer of 20K to determine the difference.

Transformers have RATIO 5: 1. So Pieter Treurniet contact me an hour ago.
Maybe it would be good to try them with some other tubes and not with 26.
(E80CC - 8K internal imedace or maybe ECC32 -14K which I have a few pairs)

Is Pieter still doing business? The Tribute website says he went out of business in 2014.
I read he has stopped doing transformers. Could need two of his SE outputs, 15-20K would be fine.

Mr. Pieter Treurniet after my inquiry, quickly contacted me on my email. He gave me some information about my transformers and corrected the value from Ratio.
I don’t know if he’s still in business. I think it only works for its essential clients.
I am thinking of selling transformers because I have already made a preamp with a finemet core of 24K / 600R.
The only intrigues me is what character of sound Tribute transformers have, especially the Line out 20k / 790R.
I didn't fully understand your question?

Such transformers have a value if they have good measurements of the performance. I saw nice Tribute transformers (mc) but also very bad transformers from them (GM70 and some line transformers) So all depends if the frequency reponse is good (Rdc with a Tribute is normally good)
