People, at Klaus's forum there is an interesting thread going on with transformer vs transformerless. A small problem(for that forum, I respect Klaus's rules) is that it is getting more technical that the rules.
Should we discuss it here? FWIW I have not posted there because I feel I would go beyond the rules set there.
First I would state it is realy apples vs oranges almost all the circuits are different in gain structure for the same output level for input level.
The only circuits that might be close are CFs and SFs(sometimes with EFs)
Cathode, Source, Emitter Followers could be designed to drive a transformer, maybe even the same transformer.
A microphone idea thread (here the lab)Is a transformerless idea of mine.
