Hi Steve,I am interested in knowing what you think are the functions served by the input transformer (I assume it is 1:1) besides the effect of separating the grounds of the source and the load, and why in your view they improve the sound quality enough to outweigh the common technical issues associated with a transformer.
By the way, I have three 1:1 output transformers from CineMag, following the recommendation you made in a post here a while back. I got them mainly for the purpose of converting non-single-ended outputs (e.g., the outputs from a digital amp) into single-ended signals. I wanted high-quality transformers with a good frequency response in the bass, since the intended application was to derive the bass signals in a biamping setup. I may just try adding those CineMag transformers to a BUF-03 buffered passive pre I made to see how the sound changes.
Best,
Kurt
