for the LP
Well balanced overall with deep pocket bass and country air clean upper end. Tracks well with 1.8 to 2 grms. Produces clean falling rain and thunder roll from the Fresh Air V last track side 2. Super presence from Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Super real violins from good recordings. Great Classical music reproducer and does equally well on well recorded Pop Rock too.
Product Weakness: High cost Product Strengths: Good spectrum balance.
