Yes, I have performed that modification. Perhaps elimination of the
transformers would be the answer.

However what this would also suggest is that the harmonic distortion
products are only present on the line output, and not when someone is
listening to CW on speakers or headphones. I will have to try connecting the
rear speaker or headphone output to the sound card to see if the harmonics
can still be observed.
