Doc's favorite Peerless transformer is the one in W-6m Heath amps..

In the a-a load, it is arguably the best out there. Having two, I certainly parted with my Citation II in their favour. Those W6 are the only amps I have not running Class A.

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
The Peerless on the W6M is part number 16431.The 16431 was chosen by Heath because it had a 70 volt secondary tap and hence would have some applications in the pro sound sectors of the marketplace.
Here's some historical trivia. Peerless designed two other outputs for the W6m amplifier.
I actually prefer each of these two alternates over the 16431. Neither of these two had the 70 volt line tap on the secondary.
One of the two had a bifilar wound secondary (16, 8, 4, & 1 ohm) and the other had a really cool trifilar secondary (again, 16, 8, 4, and 1 ohm).
If you don't need the 70 volt line tap then either one of the alternates would be a better choice IMO.
