To all,

Sorry to take so long to report back, but I finally got the Bogen in here and hooked up, and it works very well.  I have not checked whether or not the lower or higher impedance works better, but will get to that eventually. Cannot really tell a difference by ear.

I can understand the DC issue, but this transformer does not appear to be bothered by it in the least.  I think I will turn to these first before I go with Hammond again. 

I want to thank you all for the tip and your replies. That's what makes the Philco Phorum great.

Regards,
