Other Notes: "The whole noise floor seemed to drop an order of magnitude. Things emanated from a "quieter" background, giving micro dynamics and low level resolution a very welcomed boost. Little noises in the orchestra, or the audience for that matter, became more easily recognizable. Subtle violin or guitar flourishes were more expressive. Voice inflections, human and instrument, were presented in greater vividness. This change alone justified the entire cost of admission to me, the other improvements being pure bonuses at this point." - SoundStage!
