I'm starting to gather parts for a Vox AC15 project. I was looking at the West Labs 15-watt transformer set, which they claim is a drop-in replacement for the AC15 set. They certainly seem to be a lot more reasonably priced than they Heyboer set at Mojo, or the Mercury Magnetics set. Heck, the whole West set costs less than one Mercury output transformer.
Does anyone have any impression of how the West transformers stack up against the competition, as far as sound quality goes?
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot - since this is the Matchless Lightning transformer set, and the Matchless uses a 4K primary impedance for the output transformer, does the West Labs set have 4K, or 8K plate-to-plate impedance? Did Matchless use an 8K transformer and then just mis-match (or re-label...) the secondary taps?
