Default Opamp Labs Transformers

Has anyone here used and developed an opinion of Opamp Labs transformers, such as the T-25? Pricing seems to be
reasonable, and the metal shield is appealing. However, if there's a $7.50 Edcor transformer inside, that's not a deal.

I haven't taken a T-25 apart, but I took a T-18 apart twenty years ago to
change the pinout and it had a Triad transformer in there that was probably
not as good as the $7.50 Edcor.

The Edcors are actually pretty good if you can control the load impedance
on them precisely. They are a hell of a deal. They aren't a Jensen but for
$7.50 they don't need to be.

BUT, the Opamp Labs units are in those convenient octal cans, almost ready
to drop right into an Ampex or Altec device with a little repinning.

Mu-metal? Doubt it.
