[QUOTE="marantz123, post: 860891, member: 16849"] Hi Qualityten I have to concur on the quality of the A470 (cloth-covered wiring) transformers..they are very good and I enjoy them as well. The comparison that was mentioned in one of the articles was that they dont age AS well as the Z565....I dont think that it meant that they were/go bad. Details of that claim were not stated which clouds the reasoning. Later A470's were machine wound and done in the East without cloth-covered wiring...maybe those dont age as well....still unclear on what the evaluation was based on....maybe the writer compared a cloth-covered A470 with a later non-cloth one and made a statement based on sonics..but the article doesnt reflect this... So pure speculation here. More research is needed. Thanks for the input Sir. :thumbs: [/QUOTE]
