I have built a pair of electrostatics using Roger Sanders' book as a guide. Now, I am in need of a pair of audio transformers to help drive the beauties. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas about the following transformer from www.tubesandmore.com.
Part Number : P-T1609
36.71 EA
Description : TRANSFORMER, OUTPUT, PUSH-PULL, HAMMOND, 10 WATTS
Enclosed (shielded), 4 slot, above chassis type "X" mounting. Frequency response 30 Hz to 30 kHz at full rated power (+/-1 db max. ref. 1 kHz) minimum. Secondary impedance of 4/8/16 ohms. Flexible 8" leads.
Watts: 10
Primary Impedance: 10,000 CT
Mounting centers: 1.69" x 2", Vertical mount
Weight: 2.5 lbs.
Suggested tube types: 6AQ5, 6V6, 6BQ5, EL84
I am already using a pair of Barry Waldron's ESL transformers (www.eslinformation4u.com), but I haven't been able (after months of trying) to get in touch with him to buy any more. These next pair of transformers are for the second pair of Electrostatics. I am willing to make some comprimises if I can save some hard earned dollars. I don't need much volume and my ear is not very discriminating. Do you think that the preceding transformer will be able to deliver?
Other suggestions will be entertained.
Thanks in advance for any help.
