Default What differentiates good audio xmfrs from bad ones?

I see really expensive audio output and power transformers for sale
as well as cheap ones. And lots of folks really want older ones
because they are better than the new crop. So what is the difference?
It must be some sort of physical attribute. The way they are wound,
insulation, etc.
Is there a way to tell using just an oscilloscope? I'm just
curious. I am very happy with the way my tube amp sounds.
Thanks,

Frequency response delivering full power is what I think. Some trick
winding process is likely to cost more.
