It is unfortunate that this thread will not lead to anything practical or tangible to me personally, so any talk from me are very much worthless. Still from the purely conceptual perspective I would like to explain why I would prefer non-transformer coupling. I am thinking about low knee decay and I would like it to be as low order as possible. The OPT will have own roll off slope, whatever order it will be there is no escape from it. A second coupling transformer will have another roll off. So, pretend that each of them have second order at bottom, it means the entire amps will have 4th order roll off. Consider that I am crazy but I would like to have as slow roll off at the bottom as possible… So I feel that it has to be only one transformer in amplifier. Do not give me Sacuma as example – his amps sound like shit. BTW, the notion of one transformer per amp was inspired in me by Dima….
