I've been running some AB listening tests for the past four hours and have defo identified the better sounding side.

Indeed. When I had a Xerxes X Touraj told me to listen and mark the side of the felt mat that sounded better, which I did

a used bargain, but I've been selling off all of my higher-end gear and trying to minimize/simplify while my kid is a toddler and my listening is limited.

Right now I'm working from home and listening to Snell JIII's on Skylan stands, pushed by a Nakamichi Receiver1, Rega RP6/Denon 103 through a Schiit Mani phono stage. Part of me is feeling stupid for ever having spent more money than this. Ticks all the boxes for me.
