Looking for some really special output transformers for your SE45 project? Jack Elliano of Electra-Print Audio winds some of the best single-ended "iron" out there, and these are his top-of-the-line transformers with pure silver secondaries -- not partial silver or silver-plated copper wire... Pure silver. The tasty stuff. I've been using these for years in my SE46 amps and there's no going back!

These are spec'd for 45 tube and similar, with a 5,000 ohm primary and 8 ohm secondary, and gapped for ~50ma. They were used in my amps until I swapped 'em for a different pair of the same transformers.

Asking price is $750/pr. A nice deal, considering the current cost of silver and what you'd pay for new!

:thumbsup:

So….why for are you selling them, Nate? Ah I see it now. Was the other pair purdier? ;)

The other pair has 16ohm secondaries, more appropriate for my speakers…

…but the other other pair can stay here on the shelf-of-many
-transformers. :-)


I've have Jacks iron in many many amps and it is beautiful stuff.
Yup. And this silver stuff is the mostest.
 
Thats a great price.
I have an amp with Jacks silver OPT , nice stuff, wish I wasn't in "time out" right now. 😥
 
If my speakers were 8ohm then I would be your uncle (I hope I’m using that in the right context😅).
 
I can't lower the price on these much but I could throw in a nice pair of NOS ceramic sockets for those 45 tubes you're building with...
 
Nate, are you still using the 46 amps with 16 - ohm transformers or you will build with different tubes ?
Those 46 amps are still here, with the 16ohm outputs installed in them. I plan to keep them for a while.
 
There's no discernable difference in sound between the 8ohm silver outputs and the 16ohm silver outputs, but I got a little more power out of the deal with my current (16ohm) speakers. If I were using bigger horns / more efficient speakers I wouldn't have bothered.
