I wonder if John has just consigned a bunch of subs to the classifieds with his Toy upgrade. I bought my sub (B&W PV1) to add just that bit extra to my Spendor SA1s (fed by Meridian 557, MDAC, Mac) when listening to classical strings (mostly quartets and solo). Well, it's currently switched off, and I can't think what might make me switch it on again, so full and ripe (fruity, thoroughly tangible, round) are the notes coming out of the speakers alone. And that is with the MDAC "Toy" having had no more than 2 hours to settle down since I took delivery of it from the postman. I'm too embarrassed to say what else I've bought to try to tame what I found to be a slightly bright system with the pre-Toy MDAC; but the MCRU PSU is the most recent (and not yet even tried, for those wondering. It won't be for a while). Watch out, Classifieds...
I'll try to add more to the above impressions later tonight. But I just had to these first findings now, so astonished am I by the sounds coming out of my speakers placed 1.1 m away from me. Acoustic, rock, trip-hop, etc., I've not yet tried; just Classical strings (Bach; Shostakovich; more Bach). As Arthur once said of v0.9: "no sharps there".
Utterly astonishing.
Thank you, John.
