The low distortion which results from the para-coupled design gives greater definition of musical orailonclogous tothe wey in which complex coupling of lens elements can provide greater resolution of photo grophic detail The besic aim in the design of DYNACO transformers wos to provide the fines! possible performance under actual audio operating conditions as woll as under steady state laboratory test conditions. This goal was ‘achieved by building ino the transformers o largo mer gin of performance capabilites, over that normally expected in on output transformer. One rosult of this policy is thet the design is not critical on tube balance, dnd circuits can be simplified and maintenance mini ‘mized by omission of compononts which are used solely for the purpose of balancing currents in the output transformer. important fact thot output transform. to operate with loudspeaker loads ive loads alone led to design features whieh preserve the quality of performance even when the lood impedance shifts such as happens ot the ends of the audio spectrum with loudspeaker locds. The sub: stantial reserve of power handling capability which is built into every DYNACO Super-Fidelity output trons former permits full undistorted power transmission ot Frequency extremes. Most better grade transformers can deliver a reasonable amount of power in the middle of the audio band. Unfortunately however, in most units she distortion at high levels increase sharply at the ends of the band. This is not rue for DYNACO transformers since the para-coupled arrangement reduces middle and high frequency distortion, while 0 massive core of thin gauge ‘grein oriented steol provides distortionless transmission of high level, low frequency signal components Modern high fidelity amplifier circuits incorporate sub- stontial proportions of negative feedback, primar reduce distortion to extremely low levels. However, there i. @ ponally which is incurred in the use of lorge amounts of feodback-problems of instability are introduced, and © large por! of these problems are due to the detrimen: tal phase characteristics of the output transformer us Amplifiers which do not have sufficient margin of stabil- ity under feedback conditions tend 10 get “bloopy" ond muddy at low frequencies and horsh and strident at high frequencies. The remedy requires close control of the amplifier and transformer phase characteristics even at frequencies for removed from the audio bond. Advanced pulze techniques hove been incorporated into the design and production of DYNACO Super Fideli transformers to make the phose characteristics suitable for amplifiers with high proportions of feedback, The gain in margin of stcbilily which accrues from this design technique makes en audible improvement in listening ‘quality. The best test for inherent stability under feed- back conditions is the use of the square wave test—both fon the transformer alone and on the complete amp fier with loudspeaker food. The superiority of DYNACO transformers i readily confirmed in this square wave test by noting the straight sides and flot top of the waveform and the absence of ripples ond spikes, even at high frequencies. DYNACO Super-Fidelity transformers ore buil! 10 give consistent, long lasting performance, Such features os 3000 volt insulation, vacuum impregnation, high temper ‘ature potting compound, and rigorous production testing protect the performance obtained by unique design and Precision winding. The design, the moteriols, and the Fabrication are the finest available; and they provide the finest performance. CIRCUITS FOR DYNACO TRANSFORMERS ‘The high performance capabilities of DYNACO Super Fidelity transformers will improve any circuit in which these transformers are used, As a general rule they can be inserted in ony high quality circuit configuration in- cluding "Williamson," “vitra finear,” “mulisloop,”” or ‘any other ‘gratifying improvement in amplifier stobility and distortion characteristics. However, the benefits available from @ given transformer are bounded by the circuit in which it is used. Therefore, we recom- mond some specific circuit orrangements which have boon carefully designed ond tested to insure maximum cer satisfaction The cirevits shown are suggested for “those who roll their own,” either in complete amplifier construction or in modernization and conversion of older equipment or moderate-fidelity commercial equipment. The DYNACO circuit, as used in the DYNAKIT Mork Il, wos designed 10 match the outstanding characteristics of the A-431 transformer. The simplicity, stability, and ‘uality of this cirevit are unequelled by any regardless of complexity oF cost.
