You are getting performance that’s a bit worse than the $15K PS Audio BHK 300, so not worth its $55,000 price tag unless the looks are really for you. Also, not saying the BHK 300 is the best for the money, just giving a comparison.

@caphill

Did you listen to both in a double blind listening with level matching better than 0.5dB and switching between them in less than 10sec? If so, your evaluations aren’t proof. Sorry if that sounds snobby, just pointing out all the factors that affect our hearing. But yes, if you personally think it sounds better, then it sounds better to you, but it may not sound better to someone else, which is where measurements come in (and no, Stereophile’s measurements cover pretty much or all of the factors that dictate accurate signal reproduction (linearity with differing impedance, linearity with differing phase, THD, IMD, channel separation, squarewave response, S/N, THD+N, etc.); I won’t go into if second order harmonic distortion added in sounds better or not).
