RE: Favorite output transformers?

Sorry, I can't agree with that. Head phones take all the reflected sounds out of the equation so what you are hearing is nothing like what you will hear when you are listening to music normally. I want to hear the final product. "Good to me" is what I am after; I am not building these to sell.
The other reason I may not be able to hear too much difference between the Magnequest and the Hammond is that the difference is more subtle than overwhelming. As I have mentioned before, better ears (like Don Garber) than mine have stated that the 125ese sounds surprisingly good.
Another possible reason is that the 845 is a better sounding tube and is making up the difference between the outputs. I am going to do what Tre' suggested and try hooking up the FS030's to the 845 amp and see what difference I can hear then. Should be educational.
Have you ever actually listened to 125ese's in a working circuit?
