[QUOTE="Tonteldoos, post: 1155235, member: 689"] Schalk is your best guide, without a doubt, but he uses excellent transformers already. In my experience it's more about the quality and sometimes type of transformer (toroidal, etc) than the output. It would be far more rewarding to chat to the master about a valve upgrade, or discuss what is bugging you about your sound. From my personal experience, a valve upgrade can make a material difference. And you can ask Schalk what else he did to mine. But power and current delivery in the Predator is the very, very last thing you need to tweak. Honestly though, the Predator can drive speakers several steps above the B&W 600 series with ease and grace - IMHO you're scratching the wrong itch. [/QUOTE]
