I have the Magnequest version of the Z-565 on a nickle core. This,
of course, is a good as it gets.

I'm assuming you are looking at this:
http://www.triodeelectronics.com/z517wadyoutr.html

It seems very popular with EL84 builders in the US. Further,
the specifications are much better than the Hammonds. Given the EU/USD spread, the price might be worth paying shipping charges.
I dont know how the Hammonds sound. They might actually sound
very very good. However, the Z-565 seems to be a clone of a known
design.

Try Sowter. www.sowter.co.uk. We dont buy from them in the USA because the US Dollar/UK Pound is prohibitive. However, in Europe, they might make sense. They make a number of very very good PP OPTs.
