Hi there, i would love to hear what brand that you have experienced with transparent of sounding? The kind of transparent is similiar to solid state amp like Cello, Spectral, tube amp I would think is Counterpoint SA4.
Output transformers are often the limiting element in a tube amp, and the art of building them a dying one. The really good ones are expensive, hand-wound ones. Roger Modjeski may include transformer building in his course on amplifier design.
