Transformer coupled vs Capacitor coupled?

As with everything it's about implementation, good caps will sound better than bad trannies and vice versa. I've heard both types sound good my current preamp is capacitor coupled.

Transformer-based volume control in a pre-amp is probably the best sounding kind. Implementation is king though. Transformers on inputs/outputs bring system-wide benefits in terms of isolation from common-mode noise that capacitors cannot give.

Transformer coupled vs Capacitor coupled?

So long as the stage before is good in design low output impedance and has more than enough current and all your doing is stopping any dc offset, then a good cap is far better than a good transformer that will always have coloration’s.

But then doing a dc servo instead and having it all dc coupled, is then better than both.
