Hello Lane,
If your reference to "recent vintage Henry" are those 1KD-5 and 2KD-5 amps
you mention be aware that those amps haven't been made for 15+ years. They
are also desktop amplifiers from that era and before. Usually failures in
those amps are from those trying to get console performance from a desktop
amp. There are things not quite as heavy duty in a small desktop amp as
compared to a console.
The current production Henrys do NOT suffer from chronic transformer
problems, despite what
anyone selling their line of transformers says!
Let's see if it's possible for me to make a comment without inspiring a new
thread from the shut-ins and malcontents!
