JT-11P1 would be my first choice.
For auditioning, we probably don't need the selector switch.

And if at all possible, give it a straight 10k resistive load. Don't run it into something higher and use the damping network.

I'll tune it for the source and load Z that John asks for. Accommodating, that's my middle name.

It's ironic John that the "to die for" records used in this review were probably recorded through lots of tubes and transformers. I'm familiar with the Dick Shory record and last listened to it through a system tuned for old RCA's. To my ears it's WAY nicer than either of the Sheffield Labs drum or track records.

That's nice and insulting, I know what I like to listen to I don't care how it was recorded. Kind of sounds familiar doesn't it?, "it 'works' and I don't really care why", la de la de da ......

I have worked with 2 major audio recording outfits who NEVER used a transformer, if they could help it. It seemed to work for them, so why tell me that transformers are necessary?
Watch out SY, if you get into prolonged listening tests it might involve Dave Wilson's honkey-tonk piano. You'll be beging for Kraftwerk.
You are once again insulting a colleague of mine. I just can't participate in this sort of stupid put-down of my associates (and me). You have no right or understanding to do so. So why do you try to compromise me on the Blowtorch thread with your insinuations? That goes for SY too.
Let me rephrase that, I don't like honkey-tonk piano no matter who plays it. You can go to great lengths to insult me and my work, I guess it's your thread.

Yes, there was lots discussion about theory etc.
I think the bottom line is that Faulkners results speak for themselves,
so it's at least worth considering as an option.

Just for the hell of it, here are some mic pre transformer comparison
wavs. They all use same discrete opamp and just the transformer is
changed between Lundahl, Jensen, Cinemag and Crimson.

When I first heard this, even through crappy PC speakers I was
amazed at the tonal change of the acoustic gtr.
