There are good, no excellent transformers out there. The myth of the "old" iron is just that - a myth.
Magnaquest and Hammand come to mind. Or Bob Latino who offers the ST-70 and ST-120 uses custom made BETTER transformers than the original dynacos.
The only reason you are not seeing good transformers in commercial/new offerings is price savings. And I really should also mention PS designs have improved. Off loading the heavy load placed on some trannies. But basically companies are trying to save a buck. Unfortunately good audio does require a pricey price tag.
