Hello,
Thank you for your opinion on this test of the combo EC445 / Woo Wee.
One note: the succession of two series of transformers: step-down (that of the EC445) followed by step-up transformers (1:50 of the Wee) is not recommended (interference between transformers and degradation of sound quality) .
To improve your combo EC445 / Wee it would be better to remove the output transformers step-down from 445 amp to operate in OTL mode, and replace the step-up transformers 1:50 of the Wee by the step-up transformers 1:5.9 of better quality (like that of the Verto) with lower ratio of voltage amplification, which can only be beneficial to the sound quality.
If I said something inaccurate thing, prove me otherwise ...
... and then remove all the internals of the EC445 and place a RKV mkII into the empty chassis... then say "Audiovalve, you are my master and I love thee", three times in the mirror.. swallow the red pill... and voila... you are part of an elite group of audiophiles fighting the "man"....
Otherwise, I'm not talking about RKV-II amp, but the EC-445 amp which would have withdrawn its output transformers step-down voltage for operation in OTL mode.
