  • web site australian guy who hand made transformers,

    Hi All,
    A while ago, someone put a link up to an Australian guy's web site, who hand wound transformers. Looked like he got sick and is out of the business, but has lots of stock for sale, and also some incredible info about transformers. As luck would have it, I spent an hour looking but couldn't find the site. Anyone know the site, would be great.
    Thanks!
    Mike
    The only good solid state amp is a dead solid state amp. Unless it sounds really good, then its OK.

    Could it be http://www.turneraudio.com.au/ ?
    Edit: And the specific transformer winding link on that web site is http://www.turneraudio.com.au/output-trans-winding.html

        I love that site
        If I have a 50% chance of guessing the right answer, I guess wrong 80% of the time.

            I remember an article in an audio magazine ages ago, about how much more efficient and better tonal qualities output transformers are if they carefully choose how to interleave primary and secondary windings. Reating through Mr Turner's site a while ago, I was surprised all of his transformers were built that was and you could see the interleaving.

            Since commercial tube amp transformers are enclosed I could not tell what they do inside but willing to bet a low priced, say, Hammond isn't made like the turners are.

            I scanned his site and didn't find an 8 ohm secondary, 6.6K primary 30 or 40 watt unit suitable for guitar amps.

            Has anyone been able to compare an interleaved wound output transformer against a stock off the shelf commercially made unit for, say tone? Not so concerned about efficiency, but curious if a little more mojo could be imparted on a guitar amp (not interested in HIFI just yet).
