I was just thinking this. I keep thinking saturated core
for some reason. Are we sure its not just two wirewound
pots as I have in an old QED device? They tend to be
noisy when you move them though. Brian

They could be, but the CPC site says they are transformer
based, so I have assumed they use a tapped
autotransformer, like a Variac.

Right.

The transformer is designed to present twice the nominal impedance of the
speakers to the amplifer, and uses boot/buck winding configurations to
minimize the actual power the transformer needs to handle.
