Berning is a genius to be sure.  Here he fixed his sights on the "evil" output transformer.  Every part of the circuit alters the sound somehow, of course, and the goal is to find the least damaging topology.  The question is asked here: what will happen to the sound if we can match output impedence in a different way to OTL or output-transformer designs?

A tube improperly loaded express a large amount of distortions, because of multiple reasons. You can easily mimic the distortion context by changing the load with taps. Multiply it by zillion times as it happens when plate loaded against near-equal impedance….

What however is made me to reply is the notion of "evil" output transformers. I do not share it and I see no problem if an audio unit has one sound transformer. I do not think that Mr. Berning is correct by demonising OPT – there is nothing wrong with them sound-vise. Transformers are WAY less complex mechanism of Reality exchange then what David Berning offers and if the hate of transformers is the only that drivers David Berning then I do not think that was a noble cause and that David in a right crusade.
