How to Replace
Your Output
Transformer
Adventures in Amplification
columnist Tim Schroeder
discusses why you might
want to upgrade your amp’s
transformer, what kind of
changes you can expect,
and how to perform the
upgrade in his latest column.
Remember, amps contain
potentially lethal voltages, so
do not attempt this yourself
if you’re not completely
comfortable!
