IC for Moon/Revel
Need an advice for ICs. Present system is:
NAD C541i
yet some old-cheapo-Monster-interconnects
Moon i-5
AZ Satori
Revel M20
Both Moon and Revels are quite revealing and on neutral (some cold) side. When I got Satori, I experienced more pleasant bass, and a little (not enough though) softened highs. I want to extend Satoi's effect a little more, especially in regards to highs, which are still a little (I mean a little) too bright. Some warmer sound would be appreciated, but I don't want to sacrifice resolution /details /soundstage for warmth.
