I listened to an old Little Feat album - and I could hear bass lines more clearly and the instruments were clearer - not in a cold analytical way.
Thank you. I do find this interesting as more detail often does mean a more clinical sound. The RP10 is massively more detailed than my LP12, and mostly in a good way. You can hear vocal expression, bass notes etc more clearly, but the overall sound has less solidity and it fells less like listening to real people. The Karousel is also on my possible upgrade list but I'd concerned that it's a similar deal.
The views on the Lingo 4 are interesting. Better speed stability is a big plus, again it was very noticeable on the RP10, but you would seem to put the benefits of the Karousel over those of the Lingo 4. Interesting.
