Got the monster toroids for the Monster Mono's.... Damn, almost hurt myself lifting the boxes. The Beer is only there for size comparison, I don't touch the stuff.

The UK gave Hong Kong back to Cina for a late Christmas present at the end of 1997...

I got these from a guy online who buys shit from businesses going out of business. Apparently these were custom wound for ADAIR Audio which was out of Lynwood Wa. They built, among other things, a 1200 Watt Sub amp and I believe these toroidals were used in that amp. They have since closed up shop (2007???).

I bought the last of them from the guy at Apex Jr
. www.apexjr.com

His name was Steve Slater, nice guy.

I'm now trying to get the HongKongians to give me the specs and drawing for them.

Man, I am excited. This is the beginning of the Phoenix Amp Wars. Between Lee's and your mono bloc builds, I expect to see some major ridiculousness

Amps as big as SX-1980s and you need two of them!!!!

Life is GOOD

Perry, Black and white, Brown and blue are the 2 120 primary windings, I ran mine in parallel by pairing Black/blue and Brown/white

Secondaries were Red--Yellow --Red ------------169 center tapped
Purple---Grey---Purple----------24 volt center tapped
Orange---Orange-------- something weird like 18.....

is that why you doubled them up? I think you said you were running 2 of them in parallel. Did you really need to go double?

The transformers themselves or the 120 windings?

Yeah I ran two trannies per side. The idea was to drive high power into 4 ohms all day, AND to put a lot of wattage into a 1957 vintage pair of 16 ohm Klipsch Kornerhorns. Stephen is driving those with a pair of Bryston 7BST's, 900 watts per....can't match that....but at around 600 per with the WOPL sound should tickle the vintage K's just fine.
