Mike,
While you go off and ponder the 45 output transformer topic I have one more item I'd like to pursue with your help. How do you feel about B7 input transformers into a 300B pre amp? I was thinking of dropping an Ingot in front of the BH 300B preamp. Add a GoldPoint selector switch, a P&G pot and toss the current balance circuit. The BeePree is 56K input and 500 ohms output so I'd have to add some resistance, I think.
Worthwhile experiment or am I jousting at windmills?

Okay, step one complete. Ordered a BeePre. Now to open my Ingot knockoff and see if these are ordinary B7's or Mexico versions

Mike,
Installed the Mexico 10K:10K input transformers on one input of a BeePree to compare the sound. I have to say these are great, I can hear a clear difference and improvement of sound between the inputs. Still breaking in the preamp so take it with a grain of salt, I reserve any final impressions for 2 to 3 weeks.
