I knew there would be something wrong with it 
Once again, I must bow to your superior knowledge. But all I can say is that I have been using LT44s for years as output transformers for "small valve receivers," and never had the slightest problem with them. None have ever burned out, and the quality of sound reproduction appears to me to be as good as it can get. But after years of listening to morse, I probably can't tell the difference anyway, although I still have very acute hearing! 
and I only use the cheapest headphones that money can buy!
The reason I first began using them was when I purchased a large box full of them on the car boot sale, still in their individual packets, for 10p each!
As you already know, theory washes over my head and disappears out of the scuppers of my mind!
I hope you haven't put everyone off building this handy little matcher!
