Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Where to start.....

Huge subject. For a start Tango has ceased trading and Tamura is downsizing so Hashimoto is the usual suspect for a boutique high quality and price transformer. Doesn't look like this is an option. Bud Purvine is winding down at O-Netics. Good gear there.

This leaves some good midrange models - Lundahl LL1620 is good if you can get a good price on it. Look on the K&K forum and ask Kevin the importer. I can't comment on One Electron or Magnequest since I'm in Europe and they're not economic for me.

James is a popular option - check that range, excellent value. I suspect that Silk in Thailand is a little better but haven't had any myself. Good price again. Curious about those.

Which leaves Edcor and Transcendar - pretty good lower end, especially Transcendar. Probably both better than Hammond.

Personally I'd take a long hard look at the Silk range.
