I might be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.

You know, it's been a while since I was doing my homework on all of this. I seem to remember that Equitech was developing their own recipe using an OEM Plitron transformer. I did not know that they wound their own. It's been so long now that I can't confirm or deny it. So, if I misled anyone here, I do apologize. But it all seems so academic with the original intent of this thread. We have gotten a bit off topic. My fault perhaps.

I can still say with great certainty that :

1. I own three balanced transformers. Son of Q (15A), Son of Q Jr.(10A), and BPT 2 Ultra (15A).
The reason why I have three of them is because I have my home stereo, AND some home studio equipment, like synths, effects boxes, mixers, hard disk recorder, etc.

2. The Son of Q and the Son of Q Jr. sound the same to me. The only difference is that the Q has more wattage capacity than the Q Jr.

3. The BPT sounds the very best to me on my home stereo. It may not weigh as much as the Equivilent equitech product. It may not have the same OEM transformer as the Equitech. It just sounds the best to me. I like it.

4. All three units are valuable to me. I would recommend any of them to the original poster. (I do think there are other issues to deal with when using a swithcing power supply. Shielding and proximity come to mind.)

I hope I haven't beaten this to death. I apologize if I have said anything wrong about Equitech.

Peace,
QE

BTW, nice project you did there. I would be a little concerned about the caps being X or Y rated, but other than that, very nice job!
