RE: Input Transformer wiring question

Posted by Chas on October 20, 2014 at 07:45:08:
Hi, I had two of these amps (not exactly sure what the model number was)that had 6L6 output tubes and a couple of 6SN7's and a 5U4, I think.

If yours are similar I can tell you that the input transformers have a gain of about 10, so they are likely to be overkill when you use the amps in a regular system. Probably best to remove or bypass them.

By the way, the input transformers from my amps - I still have. They are quite simply the best SUT's I have ever used in my Linn based vinyl set up.
