"And then there's McIntosh output transformers. Do they have the same characteristics?"I don't know. I know there is something special and unique about them but they must still rely on the same core materials. Any information or speculation? Do they overcome these losses? McIntosh vacuum tube amplifiers specificatons were low for the standards of their day and were guaranteed but they were still in the same order of magnitude as other vacuum tube amplifiers and much higher than solid state units. It was interesting that they continued to use an autotransformer in the output of their early solid state designs, the only ones who did that as far as I know. Obviously cost and weight were not an issue. Any ideas why then?
