My Audio Note Kit 2 amp lost a power transformer this week. I spoke with Brian at AudioNoteKits.com and he said this is not unusual. Not that it's a high failure rate part or anything, it's a great amp, but still, this is the most usual suspect. The power transformers go out from time to time.

What I'm wondering is whether there would be any downsides to having a transformer wound with slightly larger wire. Maybe Audio Note would do it, or maybe I could send the core to Heyboer and have them wind a custom part for me. Seems to me a power transformer is a pretty straightforward wind, and there wouldn't be any special considerations.
