Transformer coupled vs Capacitor coupled?


Guys,

I’m sure their are different schools of thoughts on these typologies but are transformer coupled better in terms of sound quality in regard to pre-amps.

Thanks,

Transformer-based volume control in a pre-amp is probably the best sounding kind. Implementation is king though. Transformers on inputs/outputs bring system-wide benefits in terms of isolation from common-mode noise that capacitors cannot give.
