I was not deriding you because of what you determined by hearing, but wanted to understand the descriptions, technical terms and functions you described. While I have always posted (and believed) that listening is the determing factor, when someone presents ideas, it is a closed mind that ignores them as invalid. I wanted to understand your thoughts and mindsets, with the chance to possibly learn.

Those who know my guiding principles know where I stand one many subjects. My experience has defined many of these. I am the one who pays for my purchases, and I alone determine if it is a quality piece of audio gear - which is your thoughts as well.
