Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:17890840 | Brand: Peerless |
Phono or MIc. step up transformers (SUT) of highest quality.
Flat freq. response 10- 30.000 CPS!
Excellent working order, fully tested. Fine cosmetic condition.
Transformers have the same input impedances as famous WE 618B, but double bandwith and much bigger core size. Same construction and data as Peerless K241D.
This is one of the finest phono audio transformer in history.
This m...odel and it's predecessor, the famous Peerless K-241-D (same tech. data but no octal socket), were build with the most advanced winding techniques available and are true cost no object designs.
The design features were Teflon wraps between the primaries and secondaries, pied windings on the secondaries, parallel bifilar windings on the primary, three shields, and a HUGE core with special anealed lamms not available anymore. Transformer is vacuum impregnated!
Wire over wire wound coils!Both the primary and the secondary of the K-241-D/4665 are wound with this technique.
Ask any phono step up transformer company of today's manufacture if they are building a unit which incorporates those winding techniques. They will have to refuse. Much too expensive today. Excellent phono transformer were made by experienced hand manufacture (mostly done by unknown but highly skilled and trained women those days...).
They play in the all time TOP league of phono input step up transformers and were part of the famous Peerless 20-20 plus series. A quality of transformers nobody today make anymore. Highly sought after and recommended for true vinyl lovers all over the world.
