So I was changing the tubes in my copland amp and thought I would take some pics to share with every one here.

This is my baby. I wasn't a tube fan until I listened to this. It's been heavily modded to run in pure triode mode and a bunch of other stuff. I can't remember all of the mods as it was my audio dealer buddies own personal amp that I bought off him once he got his Classe CA-M400's. I just thought it looked rather artistic inside!

 
was being sarcastic.
then why is my yamaha transformer like 3 of those put together?

thing weighs atleast 12 pounds.
Well you need 1 power transformer, 2 audio output transformers, maybe a filter choke depending on the uses good higher voltage capacitors. More or less. So there you have 4 transformers, which are heavy and expensive some very expensive caps.

Your Yamaha probably just has one power transformer, which needs to be so big since your amplifier can't output current if the transformer can't keep up.
