what vintage and what application? I prefer them to Tango, in general.

unbalanced to balanced. I was looking at the TD-1. It’s older but I don’t know the vintage. It’s a 600:600

I think those are from the 90s. you may find them lean in bass, that seems characteristic of japanese permalloy transformers I have tried. check these out http://audioalt.ru/product.php?product=2520&cat=97

do you have a pair you want to loan out for trial? I wish we had an SBAF xformer loaner collection.

sadly no, I just owned their solid-state headamp which used these as input transformers, it sounded good. I agree, people should stop listening to boring jensen and cinemag

Why no love for Tango?

very overrated. lean, wiry, analytical sound. the brand went through many different eras, not all are the same, but the most lauded by collectors are the most disappointing. hashimoto is much better for a full-range and normal sounding transformer.
