Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Classic Magnetics

John Atwood did an exhaustive comparison of vintage OT in 1990 using the identical driver circuit and no feedback around the transformer. The upper -3db point for the Cit II was 108K versus 129K for the W-6; the latter's 10K square wave performance was also superior. The Peerless transformers measured better than the Cit II or any other transformer under test. I also prefer the sound of my W-6 to my Duece (with updated power supply, coupling caps and resistors--but stock circuits). In addition to John Atwood's objective tests, Bruce Thigpen and Julius Futterman both touted the Peerless 16431 as the best output iron they had ever come across. To quote Julius, "the Peerless in the W-6 has no peer".
