I believe if we need to create a new sub-section (if only for the sake of ignoring them ), it should be about components in general. Singling out xfmrs would be an encouragement to mysticism.ruffrecords said:As I am sure you know, there is much more to choosing components than their mystic powers. These questions have and will come up whether or not we make a particular place for them. So far those of us who reply have managed to steer clear of the mysticism and debunk or ignore it where it does occur. I think providing a particular place for component questions will encourage more people to ask about them, knowing there is a very good chance of getting a sensible answer.

I've checked the two other sites that I consider worthy, Pro Audio Design and diyAudio, they don't have a "components" sub-section, although the latter has distinction between tube and solid-state.
BTW, Shouldn't this thread be moved to the Conference Room?
