You hear so much talk about amp designs and how the transformer is the heart of the amp design and contributes to feel etc....
I've also learned that torroidal transformers are superior for noise reduction and as a result are used for many low noise studio applications....I know my Mesa Boogie Triaxis used one and it was very quiet....
I've read that most amp designers pass on torroidal transformers due to their cost being roughly twice as expensive as the typically used transformers...
my question...
is cost the primary concern...can one find torroidal transformers that give the same result as other highly prized iron? I.e....if money were not a constraint, would torroidal transformers be the way to go?...or would designers opt for other more traditional transformers due to superior sag/feel/performance?
Thanks!
