I don't want to get into a big heated debate about this, but to do a meaningful assessment over time, one needs to switch back to the original settings occasionally, otherwise there is no comparative baseline - it's exactly like the "burn-in" situation. If you only ever listen to the new settings, your brain WILL forget completely what the old settings sounded like and WILL gradually re-programme itself to accept the new settings as the norm. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
