A big bonus is that pitch and harmonic structure have changed "correctly" to make them perfectly acceptable with my present speakers (a lazy boy's dream...), and the system, with LP source, is strong and rich enough to re-mine my record library.  I am even getting the elusive downward-developing harmonics, which is unbelievably cool.  I am amazed and delighted with the musical insight this affords.

I was sitting there listening today (Rubinstein's "25th Anniversary" Concert at Carnegie Hall), happy as a clam, when the left channel stuttered, then cleared its throat a few times, and then the soundfield suddenly opened up in all directions to swallow me whole.  I have had this sort of experience before, when the electricity was great, but never with such a range of clear energies and frequencies in the soundfield.  It's like a new drug.
