Also, wether or not a transformer coupled preamp sounds best etc... I have no idea. I think a skillfully designed transformer or capacitor coupled preamp will yield beautiful results. The transformer quality as well as the cap quality in that position is vitally important. I do know this :-)
Sound of transformers in preamps?
Many of the highest rated preamps around seem to have transformers in the audio chain. The Dude and Coincident tube preamps seem to kick ass when compared to other tube amps and the solid state McCormack VRE-1 is sometimes considered to be the best too. All of these preamps are said to have transformers. Is there a sonic difference with the transformers? What is the subjective difference?
