Hi Chris,

Good stuff Marco '

My 1st impressions with the Achromat 1200 , are very good indeed

played Hendrix ' Valleys of neptune twice today and its so vivid sounding , Redding's bass sounding tighter with better definition ! likewise Mitchell's cymbal work having greater clarity.

Its a leaner tighter presentation compared to the Soundhifi/herbies ' i'm liking it so far
Nice one, mate. It does give a leaner and tighter presentation, and also increases clarity, but that's only as a result of letting you hear more of what's actually on recordings, without the 'flab' and 'bloom' imbued on the sound by mats that colour things more.

If it's accuracy you're after, and therefore ultimately what's faithful to the music (count me in!), IMO, using an Achromat is a no-brainer

Marco.
