In Reply to: Poll: do you prefer a system which reveals warts and all on recording? Or a bit of euphonic sound? posted by Elizabeth on November 19, 2012 at 07:08:04:
I like to think that my system is well balanced, but I have to admit that I tend to prefer gear that some would call warm. I try to balance this with some Nordost cables, for some speed and resolution. I have to admit though, that the overall sound still leans to the euphonic side of neutral.
