I own klipsch cornwalls and would like to get a 45set amplifier.
I wont build it specifically myself but i found a great guy who builds great valve amps locally to me. Ive heard rave reviews of the Jeff Korneff 45 set amplifier and how the sound is the best you will ever hear.I have found some information on some parts he uses and was hoping to buy similar parts and use a similar design. Can anybody help with what parts to buy and what schematic/design to use get a similar sound. 1 question I have is they say 80% of a tube amp is in the transformers, specifically the output transformers is that right. Or is it all the transformers including input? The valve amp builder i found basically uses budget/medium range parts and the sound is quite good. I heard the 300b and not the 45 set as he didnt have 1 he had built to listen to.
He is happy for me to give him any specific designs or upgraded parts, transformers , tubes etc ,
Would the best option be to just get electra print transformers as that would give the biggest sound quality increase as I heard thats what jeff Korneff uses in his amps.
Or are there better for value money transformers out there for a 45 set . Does anybody know exactly which transformers from the link Jeff Korneff uses? http://www.electra-print.com/singleended.php
I want the best bang for your buck without going overboard on parts prices as some of the prices of the parts ive seen can be very expensive.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
