This is just sort of a general question/topic . . .
I've been noticing a trend lately in a lot of the audio gear that I like. It's a sonic thing. Anyway, I'm kinda' digging the sound of stuff that has transformers. I don't know why that is . . . and I realize it's a very general statement because there are obviously going to be a lot of different factors that make something sound good, etc. etc.
I'm just going to throw this out there, but to anyone out there with an opinion . . . how much do think the Xformer contributes to something's sound? What are your favorite Xformers and how do they differ from one another?
When I listen to something with a Jensen in it, for example, it tends to sound pretty transparent -- like why do they even bother? With other stuff, I can definitely hear something going on -- and it isn't always a good thing, either. Sometimes, I think I can hear it actually doing something kinda' nasty. For anyone who might know: Does a lot of the sound have to do with what kind of transformer is being used; or does it have to do with how the Xformer is implemented in it's design? I'm assuming it's probably a little of both.
I just thought it might make for an interesting topic. No one seems to ever bring it up much, and I'm on sort of a Xformer kick lately.
