RE: Autoformers and transformers have their own sound colorations


It's all a matter of opinion and personal preference keeping in mind there is no perfect preamp or passive attenuator. Engineering is all about where you choose your trade-offs. There are many in every design. Some like transformer based passives, some prefer resistor based passives. I've been there and personally prefer the dynamics, convenience, and un-finicky active preamp whether vacuum tube or solid-state.
