Yes, The transformers are very high quality. Their tube stuff was very nice! The Langevin Company made a transfer to solid state about 1966. They introduced one of the first silicon solid state Class A push pull amplifiers. They also introduced solid state microphone amps and booster line amps as well as sliding attenuators. Then they faded out mostly from foreign competition. The Rupert Neve Company in England as well as Neumann in Germany was making great inroads here with comnpletely configured mixers and consoles where Langevin, RCA, Altec, and Fairchild had previously been dominant. The first American solid state amps and preamps were not as good as the Europeans partly due to the avaliability of low noise silicon transistors. American transistor makers always reserve their best for the defense and the space programs and everyone else suffers. The best! James
