I've done a number of brick and mortar auditions of mid and higher priced combinations. I haven't been encouragingly impressed by the incremental value. I'm hearing differences, just not as much as I was expecting from what I've been reading in general.
I'm reminded of when class D amplifier users were claiming their choice as 'tube like.' I simply need to come to terms with myself or until the Logitech Touch lets go.
The input here has been enlightening and very helpful. Thank you all.
