| What is the result of higher impedance in SET? Hi:How much do you know about basic electricity?An old (pre1960) ARRL (American Radio Relay League) Handbook is a good place to start if you are new to tube-electronics and have basic Q's about how things like transformers work. Can be had on ebay... | |
| What does "transformer coupled" mean? Hi Sean:You Said>>>>My thoughts about this are that you have simply traded one sonic signature for another. I agree. That is why I use the phrase "one way of thinking...' and talked about "sonic degradation some associate with it."I'... | |
