Thanks Palomino for having your Front End running through the Torii Jr.!
(Time stamp: 10:10am Saturday morning, today 10/3~then you went to make breakfast).

I concluded the same thing, with the Chord vs. Steve's front end/Output Transformers....the TONE and detail is better with Steve's....more Involving real.  I'm not Stone of Tone for nothing........
(Bela Fleck....Bass Line you compared).

But, as you stated with the other gentlemen listening....both are close....but the preferred difference with Steve's is THERE....and all so good....and my choice.

OR, was that the Decware Pill clarifier?  ....same bloodline.......situation of musicality!

Please enlighten when you get a chance...... .

I got lucky catching you this morning....I worked last night....so I did not see/hear any of the Festavus last night.

The only pills being popped are the ones I am taking to stay awake.

Yeah stone you caught the conversation.  It was hard to match the output but when I did I thought the dsd had better detail. I was surprised that I was able to come pretty close on the density of the recording.

My most magical moment so far was the Rachel UFO with the DNA horns.  That was my first setup this morning at 6:00.  

More on jr later.  We have been running that since around 8:00 I think.  Pretty sweet but I think you have to be careful with the input or you can blow the bass out.

Anyone have impressions to share?  I watched the feed last night briefly with the Rachael UFO with the DNA horns and Caintuck OBs, hard to draw conclusions though.

Wish I could've been there.

Rob

I gave my impressions over on the 2015 Zenfest thread.
