Anyone tried their Red line of transformers. If so what did you think of them.

I tried to try them, but never could get a response via email to a few simple questions though................

That doesn’t sound good. I’m looking to build a EL34 power tube type amp and their 30 watt OT price looks really good. Think I will give them a call and see if someone answers the phone. Thanks for the reply.

When was that, ball park date?

[Jonas]

Willabe it was in August 2021

[Willabe]

During the pandemic?

All bets are off pretty much off during that time. I'd check and call them now and see what happens. 


Edit; added off. Willabe

I am going to call them tomorrow. Let you know the response. If their web page is correct their Red 30 watt OT is about half that of Hammond 1650H

Gave them a call and everything went good. Lady answered phone and sent me to customer service. They answered all questions. Placed order on line and got a confirmation email.

Glad it went well! We need more venders!

Me too. Classictone shutting down made it tough

The two Pacific transformers arrived yesterday. Pretty good for snail mail. They look good. Be a while before I get to try them. Build in progress

[Jonas]
