I'm not sure about the women angle, but I often find music sounds better when I'm on my own at night, in low light. As is often said in this forum, enjoyment of music is a subjective thing. Different people prefer different speakers, DACs etc. Being in the right mood also helps. --

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] budget system help

I recently compared the CA Azur 540 v2 with a NAD c320BEE and didn't find much difference between them. The NAD sounded a bit more forward, and the CA had a bit more detail in the bass. I ended up with the NAD. I'd love to hear a T-amp sometime - I'm curious. -- swhite58
