express output transformer

[scole]

tone slut only has the 5200 ohm ot. what would be the difference between 5200 or 6600? does one hav more gain than the other?

Unless you mean toneslut on has the 5200 in stock? He carries the 5.2K and 6.6K OT as well as one that combines the two.

Wait for the 6600 to come in for an Express build, or get a Pacific from Allyn (I think he said he has some sets available at the moment).

5200 is really aggressive and the Express doesn't really need that.

So, the lower ohm output is "hotter"? The dual-output Liverpool transformer has a 4300k and 5200k output. Would the 4300k be insanely hot?

The Liverpool uses EL84s though and the gain voicing is different. Kinda hard to compare.

I was just curious if the 4300k output would be the "hotter" of the two (4300k,5200k) in my Liverpool, in case i only hook up one. I assumed the 5200k was the hotter output, but it sounds like that was an incorrect assumption.

Folks seem to say the lower ohm ones are louder and brighter. I do know that a 5.2k Ceriatone with 6V6s is still louder than my original is with EL34s! My original has a 6.6k Pacific, same goes for my two clones too. Still, in the 5.2k Ceriatone I played I didn't notice more gain per se, just brighter and louder but there are more factors at play I'm sure.

Thanks for the info, GP. My previous posts should have read 5200 ohm and 4300 ohm.

He's the site admin here, and also has a shop that provides parts to lots of builders here. I bought two chassis from him--good, quality stuff. He has a post in the for sale section for Pacific trannies:
