Parafeed SE

What I find attractive about parafeed is the elimination of the shortcomings of large gapped transformers. I'm interested in the concept of a parafeed design that would combine a relatively inexpensive choke with an ungapped iron or ferrite output transformer. The downside to parafeed for me has always been my dislike of large series caps carrying the signal. However, I've come to realize that low frequency response and other characteristics of gapped transformers commonly available for higher power levels are probably worse, sonically speaking. It all depends on whether a cap can be found that is truly transparent in the midrange.
