Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

No, I don't.

I don't doubt they heard a difference, and I don't doubt that the difference in power transformers was part of the cause. I do however doubt the explanation, which explains nothing. Until you know what difference was important and how it was important, you can't know how to design p avoid the problem caused by the difference.

Serendipity is no more causality than correlation is causality.

Here's an example: If they had inserted a 35-50 ohm resistor in the "big" power supply then they would know whether it was the resistance that caused the difference rather than the myriad other differences between the transformers. They would still not know why the resistance caused a difference in the sound, but it would at least be a start at answering the important design questions.
