Are the Radio Shack $15 variety of 1/4" to XLR balancing transformers *really*
any worse then the expensive "pro" models for pedestrian applications ?
I'm not mastering CD's for Nimbus (yet).

I looked at mine with a scope, at 15kHz, with various resistive loads,
and they rang all over the place. Things settled down a bit at 10kHz.
Can anyone propose a good test for these things? If so, please respond
directly to me and I'll summarize and post if appropriate.
