I aproach it as a listener too.

First of all, I think that all of your questions are very good. These are the kinda things that I think about too. I also think that MSL provides some good perspective to help with your answers. The common sense side of my brain feels comfortable reading his reply to your post.

I don't know nearly that much about transformers either, but one thing I do know is that you need to pay close attention to impedance matching. Both the input and the output of the xformer, and the source and load impedance of what it is controling. When you say that you took one TVC apart and substituted with something else that you wound yourself, it makes me wonder if all things impedance wise were still equal. I'm not implying that they weren't, it just makes me wonder. This can have a dramatic effect on the sound too.

I have the Django over here with the S&B tranny and I like it alot. I Iike it more than any active preamp that I have ever owned. That doesn't mean that it couldn't be any better, I know that. I have never heard the MF version or the Audio Consulting either, so I can't comment on those.

But as a listener (consumer?) who is always interested in kicking it up another level, I would be interested in knowing what double C core transformer you are using, where to get one, etc. This might be helpful for others to chime in with their opinions too.
