RE: What are you trying to match?

Thanks for the comments, gusser. The unit I was looking at has Western Electric Rep 111C transformers.

I'm skeptical but have read that units like this can act as a buffer of sorts, with a pleasant impact on the sound, typically after a dac or between a pre and amps. My pre and amps are custom units so I'm not sure what the impedances are.

Given that devices like this are used by some and are now made by Sophia Electric (with predictably hyperbolic description), I was curious whether anyone had actual experiences to share.
