Radio Spares De-Luxe replica coming soon.

I've been keeping this under my hat until I knew there would be an absolutely world class output to offer.

Finally, thanks to a recently available type of steel and detailed first hand specs. There will be a new Metroamp transformer coming out soon.

No actual ETA yet. But I'll keep you posted.

Don't tease us George.......details!

Sorry, I don't mean to tease. Just got word on some new steel that looks really promising, and got the details for the correct wind and interleaving.

Many other pertinent specs as wll. This should make for a very accurate, great sounding replica. Perfect for JTM45s and Vox's.

George could you give us the specs of this transformer?

Post by **VelvetGeorge** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 2:22 pm

The specs are from the original Radio Spares De-Luxe output.

Multiple primaries:

6.6k, 8k, 9k and also ultra linear taps.

Multiple secondaries can be wired for output impedance.

There is a unique stack and silly amount of interleaving. Which makes it only doable by hand. So it's an expensive OT to produce.

Better get Brian to share the Radio Spares choke specs to go with it.

Post by **Brian Wallace** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 9:53 pm

I could share these.

Speechless............

Um, Brian........

Wow!

Hey did Phil mention that new M14 steel to you at Tonefest? Could be cool.

Would you mind emailing me the inductance readings for the taps on those De-Luxe OT's? Let me know if you need some swag in return.

Hey George,

Yes, Phil has mentioned the steel. I use the M6 right now for mine. I think an A/B comparison is in order. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I'll get you some readings in the next couple of days.

Are the big mains ones the same as this one ? (from a jtm45/100) ?

Post by **Brian Wallace** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 7:08 am

Yes, Those are the same transformer.

I suppose this new tranny can handle a misload like the old ones and like germino's heyboer RS tranny? The bluesbreaker combo amps only had a 16 ohm output, but the speaker load was actually 8 ohms. This results in a thicker, more distorted sound than if you use a 16ohm load according to germino.
