Unless you have a serious EMI problem, adding transformers won't give

I don't know why the transformer changes the color, but anyone who has a Millennia Media STT-1 will agree with me that switching it in or out of the circuit definitely does.

It's probably due to nonlinear, artifact, and other words that make me sound extremely intelligent.


I guess when 'in' it becomes a type of filter, then there are iron
losses in the transformer, non-linearity ;-), and frequency response
limitations.

..... which is why I think transformers (and tape) are often described as
having 'warmth' and 'mellow'.
