Sophia Electric 845 Output Transformers for 845 Single Ended Amplifiers
845 tube is the most respected high end tube and the most powerful in single ended operations without going for radar tube 833a. However, the technical difficulty in designing and making a good sounding amplifier output 28W of power in single ended operation is much much greater than 300B tube operating at 8W of output. The barrier of entry is the output transformer.

Positive Feedback Review: "...The Sophia Electric Model 91-01 300B mono amps are audiophile dream amps, they have great sonics top to bottom, bass articulation that is the best I've heard, and the SE 91-01 nails all of the nerdy audiophile things like soundstaging, imaging, sense of space, and transparency in such a beguiling way that even music lovers that don't give a rat's ass about audiophile-type sonics will appreciate its prowess.
I recommend these amps heartily, and I'd give them my normal 'two thumbs up' endorsement, but that just wouldn't capture what these Sophia Electric Model 91-01 300B mono amps are capable of, so I've invented a new rating, the 'two hard nipples up' recommendation, which is the highest award I've given out to date. ..." ––– Jeff Day
