RE: Using toroid AC mains tranny for output transformer question???

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I think the problem that you are going to have
if you try to use a speaker matching transformer
as a single ended output transformer is core saturation
due to the DC flowing through the windings.I have a few
of these transformers in my collection including a
massive Triad rated at 30 watts.It clearly says on the
box label "NO DC".Now wether or not this type of
transformer can take some DC or how much DC and still have good frequency response and low distortion is something you will have to find about yourself.Those transformers will probably work much better in
push pull or obviously parafeed.
