Cobalt Output Transformers

We thought that this was the best we could do - the largest Amorhpous double C Core output transformer - giant C core output transformers.

We were wrong!

We're now rolling out Level 2 Cobalt based Amorphous C cores output transformers! Now that is something exotic and special. Cobalt is a rare earth mineral and is highly sought after. They have the sound of their own too that cannot be found using other cores.

Cobalt iron for transformers - this is an alloy that contains Cobalt 35. It is expensive and unusual to be used as output transformers. It has advantages of having very high permeability yet high handling power with saturation limit with a Bmax of ~24000. This equals more sensitivity to changes (micro-details), resulting to refine sound, and with ample reserve to handle high flux (high signal/power). Take a look at the table of its' magnetic properties.

We do not have to say more about Cobalt based output transformers. Just Google for it yourselves.

Magnetic Properties

Notice the Cobalt steel properties? It has highest DC saturation limit and maximum AC operating flux among all the other materials! With reasonable Permeability that is sufficient for audio range operation, it is one of the best material for building output transformers!

Now, scroll to the bottom and fill in the form to order yourself a pair (or a couple of pairs) of Cobalt transformers before they're gone. This rare earth mineral is getting scarce everyday. We do not know when it will run out as there are very little stock left of such high grade materials.

Double C Core Power Transformers

Check out our double C core power transformer. This is a premium (level 1) grade power transformer made for a fellow local tube enthusiasts. It is about 300VA in size. Level 2 will use the Super Hi-B C cores.



It does not have any matching enclosure and therefore it will be bare naked. Afraid not, the stand and frame are very sturdy.

Cheapest Tube Amplifier

It has been some time we update our blog. A lot of activities are happening at the background that tied up all our time to do some write up. Transformers order, custom amplifier orders and etc are lining up back to back and kept us busy until October-November'14.

Below is the entry level amplifier that we are building for a tube beginner with all our new old stock components from our storeroom that has been kept for some time. Those with sharp eyes will notice that even the choke is not from us. (Blush!) Well, those were the transformers we bought for comparisons or benchmark to ensure our stuff is equal or better in quality when compared to the major brands. Since they're sitting idle, we say, why not just get them utilized?! Nothing much to shout aloud with but it is still decently built.

Entry level tube amplifier
  •  NOS Russian Paper In Oil coupling capacitor
  • Dual Nippon Chemicon B+ PSU capacitor for EL34
  • Dual LSHC electrolytic for 6SL7
  • Dual Sonicap for high frequency B+ filtering
  • Pseudo choke input power supply
  • 6SL7 drive EL34 / 6CA7
While working on the entry level EL34 amplifier, we need to start another project soon - Level 2 PCL85  single ended tube amplifier with ALIS-5SE Ultimate output transformer. This will be the highest end PCL85 ever built. We will share more when work starts.

Below are the Z11 power transformer and Z11 power choke that will be used for the Level 2 PCL85 amplifier.

Z11 B+ power transformer and power choke
Then after this will be our 300B Level 2.5 mono-blocks with Tung-Sol and Telefunken driver tubes down the road (Kev, yes, yours!). It's the busy time of the year... :)
