Everyone focuses on the tubes, but doesn't the MW TP also use transformers to couple the balanced output of the DAC chip to the unbalanced tube stage? Seems to me that a transformer potentially has a bigger sonic footprint... And a large possibility of magnetically induced hum.
That said I've used signal transformers in a few strategic places when I build audio equipment. Typically Jensen parts. But it has made me aware of the advantages as well as the shortcomings of transformers. -- Timothy Stockman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43269 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
