Hi Wilsynet,Many thanks for your feedback. It is quite interesting the different experiences we all have.Using Solid State Rega Osiris I found the Essence to be much better than the Druid all round to my ears.A friend who ran Definitions with Atma... 
zu essence?

Which cost more: your system or your car?

Which cost more: your system or your car?
It used to be my system.Then I came across the Rega Isis/Osiris, now the car's purchase price was more than this.A more pertinent question would be:What cost more your system or your music collection?
