Power Transformer recommendations, please

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I have not read much on power transformers and which are your favorites. I am looking for highest quality and performance for my 2A3 amplifier that currently uses a Hammond 272DX. I want to "upgrade" if possible.
The PT that I currently have, Hammond 272DX, has had two of the lead wire break away from the core wires. So, I am looking for something of higher build quality / reliability. Also, not sure if PTs make a sonic difference or not, but if so, which PTs in your experience are considered sonically superior. I know this is subjective, but at least its a starting point for me to investigate.
Please give us your recommendations.
Thanks, Pat
