Not sure if you are intimating that it is the ICE tech that is an issue (to you) or if the SMPS is not a problem to you.
If the former, I am certainly not stating that all ICE implementations are the same or that they would all be good if not but for SMPS’s.
I’m saying SMPS’s ruin everything I’ve ever heard including the Studer A820, which is one of the reasons I passed on that deck when looking for a tape deck (it has multiple SMPS’s). It’s also one of the main reasons I sold my Technics SL 1200 GAE.
If you are saying you can live with SMPS’s well then we just differ in how we hear which is ok.
