Hi Chris,

So how did the listening go. Any conclusions yet?

No completed conclusion yet, simply because 2 amps were not present...

Still missing the Redwine Signatures and the UcD's to complete our listening test.

I am still happy with my LadyDays. Not because they are better in general but because the other amps did do some things I do not like.

My personal conclusions:

- The Sonic-T sounds like a toy (with switching power supply)
- The NuForce 9SE made too much noise (hiss, radio signals , etc.) both within my system and at Peter's place and showed sibilance (kind of adding things in the highest frequencies that should not have been there, probably the noise generating this).
- The PS-Audio GCC didn't sound open enough, not breathing.

The above are (for me) the unacceptable negative things when compared to the LadyDys but for the rest (except for the Sonic T) they all showed improvements from which some were not even small...

Ciao,

Bert
