I also have a plan to build TSE. Collecting parts for my build especially transformer. In George's site he mentioned for the top quality Xformer
Quality Output Transformers
Electra Print (Electra-Print.com High-Fidelity Audio Tranformers and Tube Amplifers) had two transformers that are useful in this amp, BE5KB (5.3K ohm impedance for 45 type tubes) and TM3KB (3.4K ohm impedance for 2A3's and 300b's). They were about $145 each, though Jack's catalog has changed over the years. Jack can also wind you a custom transformer to your specifications.
Do you or anyone have any experience if the Hammond 370EX you're using has higher sonic quality than Electra Print BE5KB that he mentioned ?
Thanks,
Tom

I can now recommend hammond 370EX 550v 144mA I have just finish myTSE 45 tube. the chocke is a hammond 158M 10mH 200 ohm ( test190ohm) C4 is 5uf. I get 296volt over R30 and bias the power tubes 28mA. Fantastic amplifier.
