I had an idea to design and build an FET small signal amplifier based on a class B transformer coupled valve amp design, basically to see what an electric guitar would sound like through it. However, in the electronics catalogues I have available (and a couple of shops I tried), it appears that small audio frequency (AF) matching transformers are not readily available. Is this the case ? Is there any technical reason why small signal AF transformers are a problem - I don't understand transformer technology very well. The small transformers that are available seem to have frequency responses way above audio. I saw some post here about why HF transformers can be smaller than AF transformers, although the original post has expired on this site. Does this imply that AF transformers *are* readily available, albiet physically large ? Thanks in advance, Luke
