I found the same with many coils and transformers. Especially torroidal transformers. They tend to hype or make the sounds higher pitched, and are quite annoying. I do use a RG Substation, which is a balanced transformer, followed by a unit with power factor correction. I get clarity and tonal correctness. Power factor correction is usually done with capacitors, and inside the Looking Glass, you can see there is a rather large can, which is an oil capacitor. The reviewer could have plugged the Looking Glass PLC into his transformer PLC, for a different sound. Possible clarity of the transformer, and tonal correctness of the Looking Glass.
