looking for a toroidal transformer recommendation for a preamp for use in USA with ouput 18VAC, 1A. Thanks.

Check with Plitron, Avel-Lindberg and Victoria Magnetics.

Unless something has changed recently, Victoria Magnetics no longer sells trafos, but manufactures only for their own sound reproduction products.

x2 on Avel Lindburg, but also look at url=http://www.antekinc.com - decent quality with hard to beat price.

dang it - Antek, not Antec.

Umm, not sure how T-shirt printing and transformers relate? Am I missing something?

From Avel:

Options to consider for your application:

Either type have dual 115V primaries for parallel configuration in the USA

Type: Y236054
Sec: 18 + 18V @ 25VA .69A ea.
$20.23
Type: Y236004
18 + 18V @ 15VA .42A ea.
$20.23
Type: Y236104
18 + 18V @ 50VA .83A ea.
$22.47
Type: Y236204
18 + 18V @ 50VA 1.39A ea
$25.51

If only one secondary is required, you would parallel configure them and that would allow 2 times the current.


Would the Y23604 be the best choice?

Thanks.

 

[julius_the_cat]

And is parallel configuration the way to go?

 

[Tridacnid]

Yes, parallel it.

All great experience from Avel-Lindberg here. Go for them!
