Then it does exactly what is asked of it, I asked JB to design it for me PERSONALLY as a "wire with gain". I have been on previous occasions been unconvinced of many stepup transformers, be they sowter, amplimo, EAR or jensen.
The only ones I got to like where old Mike stepups from Neve Mixing Desks and some ancient and I mean ultra-ancient Ribbon Mike stepups pulled from an old grampian console. Both of these where of course virtually single pieces and even they retained some colorations.
The TX-103 has come very close to a "wire with gain", which is more than I can say about most other passive or active steups. Not everyone wants or needs a wire with gain, well as the BBC commented, other suppliers exist.... ;-)
