Baldwin Organ output transformers?????

[jwrauch]

Anyone have any experience using Baldwin organ 6L6 PP output transformers in Hifi amps? Thanks. JOHN

Yes , I replaced the with better ones , they are OK but not what I wanted .

I'm sure there are many more, but the only organ OPTs I've kept to date are Allens. Organs just didn't need the same frequency range as HiFi and OPTs were a great place to save money.

Thanks for the responses. I'll save my $$ and maybe buy a pr of Edcors eventually. JR

Most organ output transformers do have the range that a lot of people want for hi-fi use.

Think about it, (and I have measured my Gulbransen organ amplifiers output) they need to be able to produce the low end for the bass pedals, and the high end for the uppermost high C note especially if you want to hear that flute note that would make your dog raise its ears!

I am using a mono 25 watt tubed Gulbransen 6L6GC amplifier connected to a single Cerwin-Vega D9, and the bass is incredible, plus I have to sometimes turn the treble control down with the Kenwood preamp I am using. That cymbal clash can be pretty amazing, and the bass drum has that certain punch that you cannot describe!
