could i have a lend of it oli do you think?
one of these is on the cards in the future,
what has he done to it over a standard one?

Simon Shilton sells a complete unit, there are photos in the trade section under SJS Electroacoustics.

His work is second to none in my experience, recommended.

I got mine from a US-based Japanese guy called Isao Asakura support@obsinc.us

http://www.tube-amps.net/Hashimoto_Products.htm

He arranged to have mine delivered to an onsen in the mountains north east of Kyoto, direct from the Hashimoto factory (I was on holiday in Japan at the time and considered it the best way to beat customs), but I'm sure he'd be pretty accommodating when it comes to sending to UK. Really nice guy.

Thanks Tom, I think I have emailed him already! Glad of your recommendation though.

Will be interested to hear the outcome as I am a) interested in HM7 transformers and b) plan to visit Japan later this year.

[Bigman80]

I am happy to keep you as informed as i am of developments!

Acoustic Dimension in the Netherlands sells them as well: http://www.acoustic-dimension.com/hashimoto/hashimoto-mc-stepup-transformers.htm

I was asked to build three sets at the end of last year, all using HM-7, very nice indeed.

They just managed to beat the Hashimoto price rise.

Thanks for the PM Simon, I will pass on your prices to a friend who is looking [emoji4]

I recognise that Denon (the marks are quite distinctive). Its now an essential component in my system for getting excellent performance from the AT OC9.
A superb piece of equipment and a reminder that hifi hasn't advanced much in the last 40 years!
