not sure if this goes here or elsewhere so, mods please move if necessary.
Was at an audio gathering last night, one of the engineers was swearing that he removed all the power transformers from his commercial built units(Avalon, etc, etc) so that they were all external. He described it as moving them into the wall. based on his description, I can only assume that he actually placed all the transformers in the wall vs removing them and mounting them into an external chassis. He was swearing how it made all the difference in the world. Saying how everything is quieter and all the gear has less noise. Anyone care to comment. I see pros and cons to this approach. But to me seems very excessive for little benefit....
