Fair point Marco, but I was just sharing with you why I said what I did, and the system I came to these conclusions with. Just so you might understand ?

The Soul amps have got to be the best I've heard and they are something that I'll never afford. However, what I have is close enough.

May I be boring and go back to vintage Deltec for a brief minute?
I had a PDM 1 mk2 for a good while and with a mains filter (to help counteract noise from the internal regulator I understand) it sounded very good. Mine was on 24/7 and it was a lively, "invigorating" kind of presentation. I used Furukawa interconnects with it and they worked well with it.
I'm going to try to put my CD94 based player as an avatar for a while.
