Post Subject: transformer couplingPosted by guy sergeant on: 8/3/2007
I've read about what Sakuma does (as have many people)  I've never listened to, or tried to build any of the amplifiers he publishes schematics for. However, I have made several amplifiers which use interstage transformer coupling and, provided attention is paid to the inevitable resonances that these devices have, the results have been very good. There needn't be a significant loss of bandwidth if the IT's are used appropriately. The amplifiers have also had what I would describe as a far greater depth of tone than similar rc coupled circuits. It will be interesting to see whether the Melq driver stage is as rewarding to listen to.
