did anybody pay attention that all coupling transformers-loaded amplifiers (among those that I heard) sound in a similar way as the amps with high voltage output tube that run over 1KV on plate. Did you ever think why?
I know I am very ignorant on this idea, but why do you say it is the case? Would you then suggest that this approach demands the DSET approach to succeed?

Yes, “some” transformer might “improve” sound and there are even freaks that put after bad SS amps a good 1:1 transformer to cure the SS nastiness.
By good transformer, you mean an amorphous core?

I refuse to accept not the topological the circuitry decisions but the actual sound that I heard via those amps. Was it due to the transformers or due to many other things that Sakuma did? I have no idea.
Exactly correct, but just why I have suggested a systematic approach to analyze the effects of different components in certain topological components. If from a collection of disparate observations, theory can emerge, then we do not need to continue to rely on accidental good sound.
