melbguy, think you may be correct.
Heard them with the their respective preamps (JRDG criterion and Boulder '1010' I believe it was?)
and 'neutral' is the adjective I was grasping for but failed to bring to the keyboard. The boulder was definitely more neutral.
on another note, Boulder's gear is built like a tank. Everything about their gear shouts flagship engineering. or battleship, even. JRDG's got the pretty boy 'Macbook-esque' eye candy thing going with a shiny one piece machined aluminum chassis. aesthetics should take back seat to sound of course, but you may have a domestic CFO who takes such things into consideration
