I can see Mark Sampson saying..."Damn, I need a tranny with 8k primary but only have this 4k sitting here. Awww screw it, I'll use it anyway. Hey, that sounds pretty darn good!" And the rest is history. Remember we're making music making equipment. Don't get too tied up in knots over all the theory. It won't necessarily sound better if you do it "by the book" Regards; Carl Z
