Tony you are a a great guy and really knowledgable , but duuude, come on !! That statement is pure nonsense. |
It has been theorized that the reason old transformers generally sound better, is because the quality of iron available in decades past was much better. I've had discussions with transformer winders who have come flat out and said that the transformers they wound 30 years ago were better than the one's they wind today for this reason.
The standard for iron production is not the same as it was in the 60's & 70's... and the quality of iron readily available is not to the same. This applies to all transformer manufacturers... no bullshit. I don't care to comment of the Vintech transformer because I have never seen one, or tested one.
