Then it does exactly what is asked of it, I asked JB to design it for me PERSONALLY as a "wire with gain". I have been on previous occasions been unconvinced of many stepup transformers, be they sowter, amplimo, EAR or jensen.

The only ones I got to like where old Mike stepups from Neve Mixing Desks and some ancient and I mean ultra-ancient Ribbon Mike stepups pulled from an old grampian console. Both of these where of course virtually single pieces and even they retained some colorations.

The TX-103 has come very close to a "wire with gain", which is more than I can say about most other passive or active steups. Not everyone wants or needs a wire with gain, well as the BBC commented, other suppliers exist.... ;-)

Well, I agree that “just gain” itself is a noble task and that there are not a lot of transformers that it without screwing many other things. However, I have seen the results (and ET transformers is the example) after which the "wire with gain" not considered anymore as an “interesting” accomplishment. From the place of my today’s understanding the benefits and the abilities of MC transformers I would say that a good transformer must besides to be a "wire with gain" be able to increase substantially a subjective dynamic range of the system. I am not talking about a minor difference but about the very-very aggressive increase of dynamic range that would be similar of moving from 88dB sensitive speakers to 112dB sensitive. The TX-103 unfortunately does not do it and therefore I said that it does “just gain”.
