Josch actually I red your previous posts a couple of times to find out your point about the sound you heard, as haven't had the chance to experience Romy's system. Of course I couldn't understand you completely. Anyhow after seeing what CD you brought to test I realize  the time I spent reading your posts was complete waste of time.

Some years back I new a guy who “practiced” audio whom I visited multiple times. He was relatively famous guy within audio internet word, very active online. He had a nice playback setup. That did follow most recent fashions of audio industry. How can described his installation? Well, put in this way: if a cost of installation has any correlation with dedication of owner to audio (it does not but I use it only as an example) then the cost of that guy installation was around 100K, whatever it means. So, the guy had 4 test CDs, he has TEST 4 CDs all his life and he was keep spinning them a few hours a day working on his system. He had more CD in his family room be he admitted that he never used them on his playback. Then he bought a nice TT setup and bough one test LP. That was all that the guy did in audio. I was always making fun about him. Nowadays we do not see each other, he sold his audio and I think he does a different hobby. With all absurdity of the situation I describe the guy was perfectly normal human being. There are very many people like him in audio. I use to get angry about them what I was doing audio full-time. As I become older I become much more tolerant and I just acknowledge the there is a ballast in audio and I do not have anger to them but rather pity.
