Tube amplifiers and interstage transformers

Out of curiosity, it appears as though the interstage tranny is a big help with impedance matching. What I don't understand is why bandwidth is limited within the realm of human hearing i.e,why they even have this effect. Seems like you should get cleaner more powerful signal from the stage that needs to be matched to the next stage when impedance is better matched.

Mechans,
In reality you do get the advantages you describe despite what opponents
of the IT may claim.As alan pointed out, Many of the very custom and cost
no object designs use them .For good reason, when implemented
appropriately they produce excellent sound. I do recognize that other
designs can provide excellent sound also.Interstage transformers are a
time tested and proven pathway for superb sonic results.
Regards,

I agree with Charles1dad and Larryi, most of the best tube amplifiers I have heard have interstage transformers. And like I said before, some of the highly regarded ones also have interstage transformers.

It looks like if you want your interstage transformer not to reduce the bandwidth or affect negatively the sound you need to buy a really good one.

Still, a lot of amplifier designers and people with high knowledge of audio will go for no interstage transformer approach.

The issue is that besides the impedance matching Interstage transformers bring a kind of naturalness to the sound, question would be how?

I have a 45 SET amp built by Bob Danielak and it sounds amazing. It does not have interstage transformers at all.

Some of the Audio Note kits have interstage transformers and people really talk great things about them.

Alan,
As is usually the case the key is execution. A top quality IT used by a talented builder and placed in a good circuit will turn out fine.I certainly can't offer an explanation but this proper use of IT yields such naturalness and striking realism.My amp's builder Israel Blume much prefers the IT rather than a capacitor in the signal path. Of course other builder/designers will feel the opposite and have their own approach.I heard my amp paired with the Atma-Sphere MP-1 and the sound was also fabulous. My line stage has an IT and is sublime with this amplifier.There's always different paths to great results.
Regards,

Regardless of the technical hows, that is the bottom line: it depends on the implementation.

Maybe I could ask Bob Danielak to build a SET IT amplifier for me so I can compare for myself at home. Maybe one with the darling 1626, which by all accounts looks like a "magical" tube in the presence and soundstage area.
