I've been pondering a Darling amp build for quite a while now, and I'm starting to think its time to proceed forward.
I've had great luck using Edcor iron in the past, and I'd appreciate any comments on what works best in this situation. My KT-88/6L6/6550 based amp uses the Edcor CXSE, which have an incredible sound and excellent bass. Obviously, this would be major overkill on a Darling, at only 3/4 of a watt per channel.
I'm curious if anyone here has used the XSE / GXSE series OPTs, and especially if there is any commentary on any differences between the two in this application.
Finally, I've read the other thread but am a bit confused at the discussion about a recommended Edcor power transformer, as it appears the amp being built there is the "chubby" with higher powered tubes - so it wouldn't be an appropriate match.
I greatly appreciate any comments and suggestions from more experienced builders!
