Wow. Who made the silver transformers? What values does the impedance switch select (how many ohms)?

Not sure who made them the owner had them custom wound.
The impedance switch is for 8 ohm for speakers 40 ohm or 120 ohm for headphones.

Awesome.

Recently, there was some discussion about using an 845 in a headphone amp. Well, here you go...  The Viva Audio Egoista

It looks to be a real beast and it can be yours for about $10k

another great amp from Glenn.  Is that the first out with the Lundahl transformer?  

 

[dminches]

Maybe the first OTL with a Lundahl. My 300B has 2 Lundahl output and 1 power transformers.

 

[Neogeo333]

Mine only has one Lundahl power tranny two silver wound opt.
Too bad i cant use them yet.

 

[whirlwind]

I will have more impressions later , especially when I start rolling some tubes.....but it will have to wait awhile as I am just to darned hooked on this sound so far
