@lonemountain and what’s your take on digital room treatment such as in the Anthem preamp. I’d believe that’s a different story than ordinary DSP.

@celestial__sound agree. Tone control helps too I think. Do you have preamp and power with short signal path to recommend? Beside CAT SL1 and pass xa 25.

@audphile1 interesting about class AB. I read many swearing by class A tube amps at low volume. And Pass XA25 is also recognised as a tremendous performer at low volume due to its short signal path. we like it or not I think EQ or tone control is...

The die is cast. I’m writing as listening to my new TAD ME1 in titanium finish. Now will need to evaluate if the Vitus will stay or go and then fine tune with cables. big improvement at low volume vs Avalon Idea.
