Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
Prof and freesole, thanks for taking your time to provide your thorough explanation of what "warmth" means. I understand better what that frequently mentioned expression means now. Next time I’m up in Pennsylvania I’ll try and check out those Jose...

Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S
