RE: Many Times...

So you think that effects in a transformer such as hysteresis saturation, eddy currents etc. are not audible as long as the bandwidth of the two transformers is the same?

I would not be surprised at all that these effects are VERY audible.

I do not have first hand experience though with changing transformers thus the reason for this thread. I do however, have experience with capacitors and that is very audible...and not always for the better.

Some guys have upgraded their AN amps (see above) as that company is firmly in the belief that better parts makes better SET amps. THey report improvements as one improves the parts...especially caps and transformers. Since I hear this clearly with caps I wondered how big a deal it is with transformers as they are usually far more expensive items in an amp (usually the most expensive part).
