Kuribo, what is your problem. You are entitled to believe what you want but for the most part your are not only wrong but you have no first hand knowledge for some of your statements of "facts".
Yes, your first paragraph is mostly on the mark but there are other differences. None of which I will get into now or later.
If we only and always went by specs then why bother to listen to any equipment. We all should just buy on specs. Then in that case ALL the equipment from Japan from the late 70s for the next several decades should be the BEST sounding equipment EVER made. Their specs are off the chart and better all equipment today. But they would sound poor to anything today of any quality.
Sorry but I and many others do not prefer the sound of the NC1200 over the NC400. It is BETTER then the NC400. Sometimes something is BETTER then what it is being compared vs preferred. There is a BETTER reproduction of sound from top to bottom and in all aspects with the NC1200.
With all due respect to Bruno, and I think very highly of him, B***S**T. Anyone with a good set of ears and system can EASILY hear the difference. Why he has said that I can not fathom.
As for your last paragraph this where you make statements like they are facts but are based on no first hand knowledge. We all could suppose whatever we want. Dos not make it factual. That whole thing is just a guess.
Merrill is one of the rare ones in the industry. Nothing about him is disingenuous. And one of the nicest and helpful.
