But it s just an annoyance since a few tries will work. Third and last, but probably most important from a performance standpoint, is transformer current response. It has long been held that any sort of power conditioning device or filter network chokes current which can seriously affect the performance of large loads such as power amplifiers. The first noticeable change is loss of definition in bass response. The lower frequencies start to break up.
Deeper resolution is replaced by boominess.
Not so with Q type transformers. They maintain a much lighter magnetic density which allows them much more headroom when sudden large current transients are demanded. The difference in bass performance, as stated by many of our high-end audio customers, is truly awesome.
