She's a smooth operator baby - not as warm as Arcam, slightly leaner (bass does not bloom or vibrate) but I'm a detail freak anyways and this suits me.
I played my one true main reference track - 'Good Time' by Counting Crows from Hard Candy (keyboards, electric guitar, banjo are panned either left or right , in fact the whole track is a supreme recording) and it blew me away!
Looking forward to playing lots of recordings................
I could never hear anything special on the Mobile Fidelity Permanent Waves by Rush, although it was a lovely clean master - on the 8SE this is a beaut.
DSOTM - wow - sounds fresh and vital, superb - spacing between sound effects and instruments is unbelievable!
