Eric MC Chanson on Ebay, great circuit and assamblage, oné of Best SE in the world IMO, now he is using the famous Silk SAC-Thailand transformers.

I believe the only upgrade you could ask is a Hard Wiring, probably he use Stranded Wiring as everybody else.

Hello,

I live in Australia and I don't know of any great Australian made tube amplifiers that I can recommend. I'd suggest looking at USA products if you live locally.  I frequent Liquid Audio so you might want to check out his website for some feedback.

Companies such as Audio by Van Alstine make outstanding products.

Best of luck.

Cheers Rod

Audio Van Alstine dont made anymore tube amps due shortage of parts, its site show only Solid-State amps now.
Other US builders as Decware or Inspire use US transformers which are not great, but are cheap and ready available, Decware used Hammond in the past, now are using Edcor and Inspire use Trancendar, what are same regular quality that Hammond from Canada.
