I decided to wind a pair of output transformers for my next tube SE amplifier build. I will be using a pair of NOS 809 DHT tubes!, Here you can see me winding a 30W transformer and some of the steps it takes to that, along with the distortion and frequency response test. I will be posting another video soon of potting and finishing options!

    Arash is the MAN :-) !! I found him from this video. I had a very expensive Laboratory Instrument that is End of Life, No parts or service available from the original manufacturer. A Transformer was burned out on one of the boards. I removed it and sent it to Arash. This was a very difficult transformer, completely vacuum coated in epoxy. It took him a long time to remove the epoxy and unwind all of the different voltage layers, counting as he removed each layer. In the end he did a great job. Unfortunately, it fixed the original problem but revealed another problem, so the instrument still is out of service. It was still worth the gamble. His price for the job was reasonable. A used instrument the same age, also End of Life is $6,000. A New instrument is $60,000. Thank You ***AAAA***

    For the life of me, I'll never figure out why the audio industry has all but abandoned the use of almost any transformers in audio circuitry. For starters (pun intended), in the audio input section, a 600:600 ratio isolation transformer is like magic. Literally eliminates all ground and spurious noise. In the final output section, God forbid your output transistors short and supply bias DC voltage to your speaker cabs. You'll be replacing voice coils. Whereas, a transformer to deliver the signal to your speakers, transformers do not pass solid DC voltage. Problem solved.
