@best-groove I hear you. I've more software than time to listen to it all. I'd rather listen to quality over quantity. Cheap tweaks help.

Thanks @lewm for all that! Of course I know you were not being judgmental.  It's great to hear alternative opinions and insights. I wonder if it's the Deccas. I know my three Deccas trounce my Audio Technica AT750SH which I bought out of curiosity...

@hdm  I did read your review recently. I have no idea! Maybe it's a Decca thing with its high energy  feeding into the shell and arm (despite being in a Decapod). The difference was not subtle. Fine detail was missing on the Yamamoto. Most likely ...

@roberttcan Thanks for the write-up. Look, it's either good or it's not good, no matter what the room.
