dvb,against my better judgement i will attempt to illustrate just how limited my technical expertise is by explaining why i think a resistor is 'less' than a transformer.
if you connect a cable to the same high quality resistors 5 in a row......to a particular gain......i believe that you would be hard pressed to hear it's difference compared to a straight wire with one resistor to the same gain....there would be a difference......it would simply be difficult to hear.
if you then try the same thing with 5 transformers compared to one transformer i believe you would easily hear the difference......you might like the difference.....but it will be clearly different.
i believe that if my premise is correct; then transformers change things and are 'more there' than resistors.
as far as Thorsten is concerned, his viewpoint as expressed to me in an e-mail is that "in your system some of the advantages of the transformer principle are removed"......OTOH......he also said "we have very different views on what sounds good".
so accuracy and clarity are different than musical taste.
please be gentle....
