Lula, when I say the bass is improved I mean compared to my Lampizator 4/4 with computer front end. All my sound quality statements were vs. the Lampi/computer combo, not the Signature Romulus.The Signature Romulus has a different digital board an...

Need "warm" interconnects advice
You will not loose details nor have poor low freq. with the Fusion Romance. It simply presents all of the detail with ease and is a cut or two above the Cardas. Yes, I have owned and heard both :-)One does not have to give up details and air etc.....

JFX caps are a steal for the money in electronics as they cost $4 each! I would rather use JFX as compared to any Mundorf caps, Solen etc.....In terms of how they compare to Jupiter in electronics, well not in the same league at all.
