I've ordered 2 c-354 chokes and a PA-060 power transformer from there.
The construction is high quality. The power transformer is taller than
the one it replaces and gets almost as hot as the one it replaces on my
ST-70 Amp. The wires from the power transformer are teflon coated and a
bit hard to work with being of a stiffer construction than the original
plastic with cloth coating ones.

Would I recommend the transformers from Triode as replacement units for
existing Dynaco Equipment? Yes. They're better than the original wound
ones that are sold on Ebay for almost the same price. I honestly don't
know what the "boutique heads" are thinking about the "magical"
properties of cloth covered wiring.

Just my opinion...

I second the recommendation. My Dyna-Clone MK3 Monoblocks use the Power
Transformer sold by Triode Electronics.

The power transformer is high quality, stable and free from buzzes or
mechanical vibrations even when I bias the KT-88 up to the full 70 ma.

The paint job is OK but really would need a spray of some quality finishing,
heat resistant enamel or acrylic.

Triode used to also sell the Magnequest line of Dynaco replacements. I
purchased a pair of Dynaco MK-3 MQ-782 transformers. They perform very well.

Cannot say how the current Dynaclone product work, but they do seem more
economical.

I did have to re-paint the MQ-782's. They are not empowered cosmetically and
need a final coat to make them look good.

The issue with the Magnequest products was delay's in manufacture. Mine were
back-ordered for 2 month's. The current product sold seem to be in-stock
from their web site descriptions.

Curcio sells the Magnequest clones that start with the MQ part number. The
prices are higher, but I also expect them to be equal to or better than
anything current.

I refuse to deal with Mike Lefevre on the grounds that he is a liar, a
mountebank and a windy fraud. Life is short, why support a cocksucker
like that? Even if he could PROVE his treansformers are any good and
even if he can PROVE he has them in stock and ready for shipment. He
will not prove either and if you ask him he will call you a
"trouble-maker" and tell you you have no right to ask him to do that.

So **** Mike Lefevre.
