I find this quote extremely funny: "I would say that the HR-X was on the cool side of neutral whereas the "classic" was on the neutral side of neutral but incredibly musical."
I guess after decades of dissemination of audiophile lexicon by The Absolute Sound, it is mission accomplished.
I wonder if one day we ban the use of the word "neutral", will we be able to describe sound at all?
I really miss those Sound Practices days. It was fun to be an atheist.
Anyway, glad you enjoy your new toy.
