I was informed that the 15th anniverasary edition wasn't as good as the 12th. Sometimes manufacturers should leave well alone when they have a decent product on their hands.
I have no doubt that if I had a different amp or a high quality separate pre-amp I wouldn't have had an issue. I'm not knocking the Pontus 15th, I'm sure it sounds great in the vast majority of systems. Just not mine.
