Any audio centre tapped transformer should do, but if you already have two 
1:1 transformers you would connect the primaries in parallel and link 
opposite ends of the secondaries to make a centre tapped equivalent. 

The balancing resistor in the Sowter circuit probably only makes a small 
difference and try it first without a resistor. Sowters make pro quality 
stuff, but for cans monitoring, you might not hear the difference.
