: Indicates the total absence of these transformers in the signal path. 2. Why Go Transformerless?
Because tubes naturally operate at high voltages and low currents—while speakers need the opposite—"tranny free" designs are complex to build:
Standard tube amplifiers use large iron-core to bridge the gap between high-voltage tubes and low-impedance speakers. A "tranny free" or OTL design removes this component, connecting the vacuum tubes directly to the speaker or headphones.
