Ray Ivers	Re: idle little transformer Giacomo, Check out this print: http://www.techaccessinc.com/ax84/rail_rocket/rr_r3_switch.gif The "1W Moonlight OT" in the 'Midstage Distortion Option" looks like it may be a somewhat similar unit. For once, this circuit design is something I HAVE tried, and I think it sounds GREAT (I think push-pull distortion sounds wonderful, whether used in a preamp with small-signal triodes/pentodes or in an output stage). I've always wanted to build a completely push-pull preamp from input to output, using three of those little guys (the Hammond 125A is also cool for this purpose - I liked a 12AT7 with it, but I haven't tried the 6SN7 or 6SL7) - maybe one of these days...
