In Reply to: How come my 103R sounds brighter when (transformer) loaded to 3 Ohms? /nt/ posted by Jeff Maxson on August 6, 2005 at 11:00:47:
What transformer is it?As the load impedance goes above source impedance the power is decreased. with the load impedance lower than the source current flow will be greatly impeded.
That and the fact the load impedance is a combination of resistance and reluctance (capacitance and/or inductance) which basically define a filter, like in a speaker crossover, and may now with the low resistance create an impedance at a certain low frequency casuing it to sound bright because those frequencies are missing.
My theory but in any case "don't do that!"
Cheers!
