Yes, Roman: the two stages design is having the gain you correctly pointed-out.

Sure would have paid - and it was discussed, as well, during pre-building weeks - to go for an higher gain design, BUT I feel more confortable in going ahead to play with my collection of old MC-trannies which, talking about best designs, also if (maybe) loosing something in "detail/resolution/quickness", they sure add a very pleasant "oomp" and bloom to the overall result: a golden, yet unveiled, burnished-like character which let every note to shine brightly, "right" to my ears and taste.

It's like these MC-trannies gives to me more colours on my palette to play with...

Will try to involve Thomas Mayer himself in the interesting debate concerning the LCR's.

He sure is much more expert than myself in technical matters and will add - I trust - interesting details to the discussion.
