Hello M.N.
Thank you very much for your detailed answer.
I am still undecided because I heard that Air Tight is going to replace the Tamura output transformers with Sansui brand... I do not know if it's true or not. Maybe is better to wait the new version?
Furthermore, I have no experience to determine which output transformer is better: Tamura or Sansui.
If it is possible, please let me know your opinion in this regard.
Thank you in advance for your kind answer.
Best regards,
Alex

Dear Alex--Hi. I believe you are misled about the output transformer change in AIR TIGHT products. Sansui stopped producing audio transformers about 25 years ago. Besides, the company declared bankruptcy several years ago and is now controlled by a Hong Kong stock holding company. In sum, Sansui no longer exists as an audio equipment manufacturer. If you can find an old Sansui product, salvage and transplant the transformers, that would be great. But, again, there is no way AIR TIGHT can switch to Sansui transformers for use in their products. Tamura transformers are very good--no questiuon about that. With TANGO now being gone, Tamura is the only major audio transformer manufacturer in Japan--what a shame! Do ask the seller as many questions as you wish to before sending your money. Regards. Masayuki
