I have notice those Zaika ZLT-55A 'line level impedance tranformer' to put between CD and preamp or amps..
going for more than 1000$ in Japan:

It just seems to work in very high end systems..
Impedance matching seems important..It is to ensure the most efficient transfer of power (the audio signal) from device to device,
and a solution seems to use line level impedance transformer/balun..
I am using a tube preamp that has a impedance tranformer build in with the input, and the sound seems to be much better than other tube pre-amps i ve got..
So I generally have devices with output impedance of 10, 47, 75, 200 Ohm..
and devices with input impedance of 1.5K, 2K, 20K, 31K, 50K, 1M Ohm...
So does anyone know which cheap line level impedance transformer to buy or how to make these DIY...?
