Wow! Paul, I have to say you really hit the nail on the head this time; whereas usually you strike me a bit more obliquely:

This is exactly what I was saying. I felt I was listening to the clearest, most neutral, most transparent STEREO ever. But I never once relaxed and believed it was real. I never thought "What was Coltrane thinking on that take?" or waited for the musicians to take five. The ability to convey the essence of Sound was missing. Perfect but unbearable, like staring into the sun.
I have to say that Merlin's post's continue to have a rather defensive tone. Why do people come here expecting to be attacked? I'll be the first to admit that my system is FAR from perfect and I don't know much, but I enjoy this website a lot more than any other because it keeps you honest.
But back to what Merlin said about the ZOTL allowing one to hear the output tubes. I must disagree. I would say you are simply hearing the different circuit topology as a whole.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
