I guess my history with tube amps speaks to this question. Up until I built my first all transformer coupled P-P amp, I had built and optimized Mullard and Williamson style amps. They sounded nice to me, but the presence of lots of transformers in the signal chain in early stereo recordings that I liked so much intrigued me enough to try an interstage transformer in place of a diff amp phase splitter and I have never looked back. Every stage of capacitance removed and replaced by a transformer seems to remove another level of "hi-fi" sound and leave behind a more detailed, natural sound. There is nothing in the technical characteristics of a transformer that argued for its choice over a capacitor, but I listened and certainly heard a perceptional argument for transformers over capacitors as circuit coupling elements. The sense of space and size in recordings is much more obvious. Little details are mcuh more audible, but seem to occupy their proper place relative to other details.Try a circuit and hear for yourself.
