Why would a recessed high range be better for classical?The LA100 MkIII is a bit more beautiful & laid back than real life but that doesn't make it better for classical music - as a matter of fact, unless ameliorated by a good after market pc (to wake it up a little bit), those very qualities can detract from the dynamics & top range bloom of orchestral classical music.
I owned this preamp for a couple years - it is a very nice preamp, but I eventually preferred the more neutral & dynamic sound of the tubed Herron VTSP-1a/166, which sounds more like the LA150 than the 100 MkIII. Judd Barber can fine tune either JE to suit specific tastes and systems, but the Herron pre was synergistic with my Herron amps.
I do agree that C-Js have a house sound, a golden glow of a sound, which while lovely, never struck me as quite realistic (at least as I hear live music).
