DIY Paradise
brings you
A trusted name for more
than 80 years!
DIY buddy YH Chow always says, “iron
is good for health” and now DIY Paradise can help you anaemics!
So here you are, Canadian iron at close
to US prices. Even cheaper once you factor in shipping charges. Prices are per
piece.

Enclosed chokes look great on top of the chassis.
Butt naked ones should go underneath, unless you want a “butt naked
ugly” look. Definitely something different from the crowd!
193C,
193J, 193K, 159P and 159T are great as power supply filters. In my modest
system, having a choke in the power supply moved the stage backwards, shrunk the
image down to more lifelike proportions, smoothened the mids and extended the
bass! What more can a man ask for?????
Note
that if you want low DCR, the 193K and 159T do this nicely for you. Less DCR,
less voltage drop, less waste. Choke benefits for your current hungry tube.
155C,
156C are meant to load your driver tube. The other alternative is, of course,
build your own current source but for purists who want no sand in their amps,
chokes is the way to go!
157G is an
inexpensive plate choke should you opt to go parafeeding. It could be used as
driver load too if you use THAT much current.

All Hammond output transformers are built
with M6 grade laminations. These are pretty hard to come by locally. (That said,
if you know a source for M6 core, let me know…)
The 1650R is perfect for an
EL34 based PP
amp while the 1650F is great for EL84 PP. The 1650R is HUGE and HEAVY. Think I’m
kidding? Each weighs 12 pounds! Both models come with 4-8-16 ohm speaker and
Ultra Linear taps.
There is no better value
for SE amps than the 125ESE! Look at the primary impedance! This is a great
model for DIYers as you can use it to build a 2A3/300B/211 based SE amp. You can
have your own SE amp for less than RM1k! Serious! Believe me, this iron is good
enough for most people! Don’t listen to those who talk only about specs. They
listen to SOUND not MUSIC. Read this great review here.
If
you want to spend big money, then you need to spend above RM1000 for exotic
makes like Lundahl, Tango, Tamura etc. For real people with mouths to feed, car
loans and property mortgage, the 125ESE is a Godsend!
Adding to line-up is the 1627SE, 1628SE and now 1629SE. These are one step up from the 125ESE. The 125ESE has 3 faults, too cheap, too ugly and not much DEEP bass. The 1627/8SE are much nicer, bigger, heavier, more macho and has great bottom end extension. But they are twice the price of the 125ESE, so take your pick. Adding to the lineup is Hammond’s latest 125GSE.
Please write to enquire. You can estimate shipping charges here.
DIY Paradise is glad to pay up to RM5 shipping charges. As far as I know, no one
in the industry does this!
