In Reply to: Capacitor or transformer coupling? posted by Tube Tourist on January 22, 2012 at 02:57:52:
Both are easily bettered by direct coupling. Do a simple Loftin White two stage amp ala Shishido, Asano, with a good power supply..It makes sense, a piece of (good) wire will mess less with the signal than a cap or trannie to drive.
Two stage amps will always be more transparent sounding than three stages, KISS rules !!!
Cheers,
Jeff
