Tube questions, step up/down

[Bill Layer]

Hi Doug,

Why not use transformers for step up/down use? Obviously the xfmr would  be 
pretty useless at LFO frequencies, but at 20Hz up, an audio-quality part 
should work fine. Take the 150V tube sigs down to 15v, and the 0-15v up to 
150.. Has the added benefit of excellent DC isolation for the circuits, and 
introduces the prospect of using the differential output of the transformer 
to drive a balanced line to the next module, or to the mixer/recorder... 
excellent for keeping s/n high at this point in the sound creation process..

Thanks for that bit of sanity... unless one has a heart condition, the 
currents are pretty minute.
