<p>Dear Scott:</p>
<p>Absolutely, lowering coloration is the normal goal. But in
esthetic mastering, where I am creating a master for public
consumption, often from mixes made entirely digitally, sometimes
transformer color is just what the doctor ordered.</p>
<p>I have devices which add edge, or vice versa, which soften, or
add lots of 2nd harmonic, or 2nd plus 3rd... or have controllable
distortion. It will be interesting to audition a transformer with
a resonant HF ring, as a possible coloration tool!<br>

source... the lower the source impedance, the lower the coloration.
But... if you find the coloration is too low, which you might, then this
is a thing worth trying.
In the past my experiences with the 111C have always been using it as a
tool to reduce coloration rather than to increase it.
