Romy would you care to elaborate on that a bit? In particular have you hear amorphous/silver combination?

Nope I never had it and even f I did it would be difficult to generalize anything. I had only once a fully silver OPT, it was the top of the line Japanese AN. With the AN cartridge it did very well. I have my Expressive Technology SU2 transformer with me and I was trying to use it instead of that silver AN and I I mush preferred the AN. Against it was in context of ultra low impedance AN cartridge (<.5R), with AN phonostage and with very poor from my point of view single driver speakers. Whatever it was the analog front end was not the weakest element in there and the SUT did very well. I do not wind transformers and I have no idea what makes SUT good. The guy who did my Expressive Technology SU2 transformer after he heard my pontifications the silver is bad told me that there is some silver in my transformer. He did not go into details and I think as now the “secret” will be never revealed.
