Thanks for your great insights Tyu.
Like you, I do not speak about things that I have not heard or tried. Theories often can get unstuck when it comes to reality.
ML set-up:
Having two transformers that are the same would require filters (resistor, cap or inductors) in the signal path to get the frequency response right. More filters less sound.
SL set-up:
Now we have come up with a solution that can do away with all the filters on the primary side of the transformer - which is a big plus. The only filter now is in the form of a small value cap (0.015pF) in series with the two legs of the high frequency transformer.
Lew has already used a 0.01uF teflon cap here instead of a 0.015uF cap without any problems. I will be using 0.0075uF teflon.
Comparing the above two filtering set-up, isn't the SL one less obtrusive now?
Big value cap and resistor is more damaging than small value cap and resistor - all things being equal.
Also I suspect that at 8kV the cap on the secondary is also going to be less obtrusive.
Like you already said, the ML set-up have to give away the low bass which the SL can do easily with its multi-tap monstrous bass transformer.
