Heat is the number one enemy of the dielectric properties of the coating on transformer windings. There is a safe operating temperature, but when exceeded the dielectric properties begin to lose insulation value. Simply cooling it down does not restore the lost value. I am worried that extended peak charge time of a sine wave may accelerate a power supply transformer failure. There is no audible benefit worth that to me.
Dan, it is counterintuitive. http://www.psaudio.com/ps/knowledge/...pp-gets-rid-of
