Does anyone have any experience with Plitron toroidal transformers in
output stages. I'm debating the Hammond / Plitron options. The Hammonds
are half the price but the Plitron's freq response is really great. -3db
and 3Hz and -0.1db and 12Hz.

The hammond 1628SE's are 156 Can. and the Plitron's are 300 Can. i'm
just not sure if the difference is justified. I'm planning on
constructing a 300B or SV-572-2 based design.

Thanks, Craig.,

What power level is used in measuring the response of the Plitrons?
Does this company have a Web site?

Plitron does have a website.

Just use your search engine. Complete data are provided on the site; there
is a wide range of options as far as I remember.

www.plitron.com I have heard nothing but good things about these
transformers. They even make chokes. Michael Elliot offers them as an
upgrade/option on his Counterpoint amplifier mods.

Van der Veen wrote a book in which the transformers are described in great
detail. I believe that the nominal bandwidth is at 1mW, but a power
bandwidth is given too.

Which transformer? If you wish, I can check it out (I have the book) and
give whatever details aren't quoted in their literature.

Alternatively, I have found Plitron very helpful, and they pass on queries
to Van der Veen if necessary. He is also helpful.

They have a good reputation. Not good for guitars though, if you want
partial saturation.
