Talked to Brian at Edcor and he went ahead and put these on the website for anyone that's interested.

That could be an attractive option for any future ST35 builders out there. Two of those outputs plus the XPWR005 will cost you $156.25 plus shipping. That's a good $57 cheaper than if you bought a full set of Z565/PA774 clone iron.
"It's a different experience; the noise occlusion, crisp, clear sound, and defined powerful bass. Strong bass does not corrupt the higher frequencies, giving a very different overall feel of the sound, one that is, in my opinion, quite unique."

I wonder how this measures / sounds compared to a new Z565? I've been pleased as punch with the quality of Edcor's offerings and am wondering if this may, in fact, be an upgrade...

I've never been diappointed with an Edcor product. Unlike Hammond, Edcor's model perfectly in PSUD ;)

Greg, I'm guessing these might work well for your up and coming St- 35 (SCA-35?) project? There are lots of us out there with transformer less SCA-35 carcass's after building Shannons ST-35....hmmm

Heya Kirk,

Luckily I have my SCA iron and it's near mint condition.

I do want to think more ST-35, since I'll have more room than a SCA's "Smurf's garden shed" case to build in (lol)

Cheers!

I Have been away for a while and back from holidays,

I have just emailed Edcor to see if it is possible to add an extra 120v winding to the primary of the XPWR005 so that it can be operated on 120v or 240v for those of us that have 240 mains.

I feel this would be a good alternative set of transformers for the ST35 and also a good alternative power tranny for the GET SET GO for international builders.

They likely will, but may have to up to the next size core.

Let me know the XPWR # you get for that.... I have clients that move about between mainland China and Canada every other year for family reasons and would like their Dynaco gear to go with them ;)

Cheers!

Cool. Look forward to the update on the reply from Edcor.
Thanks!

Edcor will design and produce just about any power transformer to meet your particular requirements, and then they will add its part number to their list of available transformers. Just don't ask Brian about adding electrostatic shielding between the primary and secondary windings.... >:o (666) >:o

He has strong feelings on that I assume?

If you wind a filament winding between the two, it's practically an electrostatic shield.

One of the guys over at NNETG inquired about designing some custom plate voltage PTs for his GM70 SET project, and one of his needs was to have electrostatic shielding, and Brian just about had a conniption fit...

Must be a sore subject...

Yeah, I suppose that a carefully located (unused) filament winding might suffice, but then I'm not as particular and picky as the GM70 guy is.

When Edcor says 20-20K Hz <1 dBU does anyone know what power that rating is at? If it's at the 25 W at the top of specs that would be nice!
