Funny to read this thread about autoformers.
Probably 6-7 years ago, I added a McIntosh SS amp to my arsenal that uses autoformers. At the time, I was also using Steve McCormack's platinum modded amps too. I compared them and shared my thoughts with Steve about the improvements possible with adding an autoformer as an additional mod for his amps and suggested the Paul Speltz product.
He noticed the same thing and, apparently, even wrote about it. I've been inactive in this hobby for quite some time, so it's fascinating to see this recent discussion of something I was dealing with when I last was “involved" in the hobby.
I echo everything Atmasphere is saying and can vouch first hand...not because I was prejudiced or persuaded by forums or audiophile "authority"...but because I discovered this phenomenon organically...almost by accident.
