Re: Put a Tranny in a ZH-270

I realize the annoyance I can become on this subject. I agree the amp adds nothing to the signal. A transfrmer in the signal path is not neccesarily a bad thing. A state of the art, transformer made by a craftsman is a beautiful thing. In the case of the volume potentiometer, if the signal goes through it I would think one with all copper windings would always sound better than one with carbon resistive material. Balancing inductive distortion and the distorion of the wiper pot attenuator is easy by just turning the zh all the way up and using a autoformer type passive device. It's sweet. I base this only on experience with these devices not experience building them. Just a thought.
