I got today my first pair of output transformers for the single-stage Melquiades.  They are 40ma, 5H, 42R primary, 15:1, Amorphous, with remapable secondaries made by Netherlandian Pieter Treurniet. I did not put it in use and heard them – probably it will take another two weeks but I need to say that this transformers made me to think sorry they the will be hosted inside of the Milq chassis, I never thought I would feel this way.

When I spoke with Pieter I asked him do not pot it into a can as it will be inside of amp, Pieter gave me a lot of reasons why he insist to pot it, fi9nishing with something like this: “I know hat I do. It will be potted”.

Well, the sad irony is that when I got those transformers the first thing that very impressed and surprised me was… their potting. It really feels deferens and I did catch myself that I actually experience a pleasure to hold the things in my hands. I am not kidding. It has a very strange quality of very precisely boiled egg, what a few seconds more would make it completely boils but a few second less will make the core too soft. Of cause the transformer has noting inside riddling of liquid but I constantly caught myself that I am wiling to shake it… Very abnormal feeling for me and I usually do not give a damn how the parts look and feel…

Can’t wait to put this baby into the use…
