Monolith Magnetics makes some very nice (and expensive) transformers. The OPTs I use in my 833C SE amps weigh 62lbs each, with amorphous double-C cores and virgin teflon interwinding insulation. Here's a picture of one during its construction. http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg559/Quagmire22/833OPTcoilandcore_zps9fb41a95.jpg They're not cheap but high quality very rarely is. |
