I've bought from airlink in the past and not been disappointed by the quality 
. Deliver has been good as well

I order my transformers from Toroidy.pl - they are cheap, but absolutely worth recommending. My Gainclone went a whole league up after just changing the old trafo (which was previously a very decent Nuvotem Talema) to one of theirs. Make sure to ask for a transformer in "audio realisation" version - these come with a Faraday shield, shielding between windings and grain-ordered steel core as a standard. Also dead quiet.
I recommend also asking them to wind primary over secondary, and to use a 50% thicker wire for secondary (don't ask me why - Peter Daniel tipped me off about this and trafos do seem to sound better this way).
Only thing is, the postage can be quite expensive...

I ended up buying mine from Avel Transformers in the UK. Incredible service from Chris Hall. Highly recommend.

Sorry to hear Avel went under.
The other option is Tiger Torroids in Norfolk, UK who do a fantastic job.
Stephen Foster winds the transformers in his small factory near Diss.
Tiger Toroids is a British company offering a fast and flexible solution for transformers and sinewave inverters.
Specify a GOSS bs d and interwinding screen on a stabilized core. Mention that it’s for audio. I’ve used quite a few suppliers, but his are the quietest - mechanically and electrically.

Looking for low noise transformers, I have seen contradictory opinions about their R-core transformers.
Thanks Uncle Leon for the connection
I contacted them and they knew exactly what I wanted and in the size constraints. Quick, error free response and quick quote.
Will use them soon

Terry at Canterbury windings in the UK are very good as well used them several times and the transformers are dead silent.

Well,
Goss, not gost
As far as I know, silicon steel is the usual material for transformers magnetic circuits.
I doubt "goss" is best for magnetic shielding, the best is mu-metal or permalloy.
Yes sorry typo its Goss and as you say its purpose is to reduce the stray magnetic field. It may not be as good as MU-metal but its better than nothing
