TVC TRANSFORMERS - FOR PASSIVE PRE-AMPLIFIER
Following the success of our Glasshouse Passive pre-amplifier No. 1 kit, we have launched a transformer volume control version of the passive. At the heart of the Glasshouse TVC Passive pre-amplifier is a pair of 24 stepped Glasshouse TVC transformers. Built on a 147 lam, they are not only affordable, but perform superbly. We have decided to offer you the transformers separately from the kit, not only for those who already have the standard kit and wish to upgrade, but for those who like to scratch build.

The transformers are supplied with solder tags, so choosing a good wire is essential. We recommend the 0.5mm dia. Mundorf 99%silver/1%gold wire, it sound excellent and is also bend friendly. see the wires page. To control which winding you are feeding off you will need a 2 pole, 23/24 way selector, we sell two types, the Audio Note switch and the switch used in the Dale Vishay stepped attenuators. both of these are 2 pole 23 way so tag 24 on the transformer is not use. See our switches/potentiometer page. The measured THD and noise is a very low 0.023%, as measured in our kit. Each step of the TVC transformer is 2dB, so you will get great control over the full range.
The price for a pair is an amazing £150.00 + vat + carriage.

CUSTOM MADE TRANSFORMERS
With the success of Glasshouse valve amplifier kits, we have decided to make available for separate purchase the transformers which these kits feature. To complete the picture and to build up the range of transformers we are also, offering a custom made transformer service. Where upon, you can benefit from the expertise of our transformer designers for your specialist transformer.


OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS
All Glasshouse output transformers are designed by Andy grove. Andy has designed thousands of output transformers and taught numerous transformer manufacturers exactly how to wind them. He is one of the best designers in the world and knows exactly how to achieve the best performance and sound. Luckily for hificollective he will extend his design prowess to those who do not know how to calculate the primary impedance for the output valves.

MAINS TRANSFORMERS
After 30 years experience in transformer design, creating countless mains transformers for valve amplifiers, you can be sure that designer Graham Luscombe knows a thing or to he is also, involved in the production of our Glasshouse mains transformers. They are guaranteed to be stable, within specification, without mechanical hum and will not overheat.
