Nordost SPM vs. Quatro Fil

just visted the nordost website, which i should have done before posting. nordost uses the spelling "Quattro Fil" for the ic under discussion. guess we were both wrong.

The quattro fil is very much worth the price. I used to have the balanced SPM before but once I heard the quattro fil I got rid of the SPM in a heartbeat. It betters the SPM in everyway.

Greetings! Am finding my system's ound a little too lean in the lower mids, and "clicky" on transients. Am using RedDawn throughout. Should I try SPM between CDP (RCA) and Aleph P, or switch to another "warmer" family?
(A local dealer suggested that Quattro-Fil was produced by Nordost upon urging from heavy-volume New York dealer who was complaining about shield-less SPM's problems in NYC, and NOT to be better than SPM! As I've not heard either I submit this heresay as such, and nothing more!)
Thanks for any suggestions. Ernie

Hey Subaru,
Using the aleph P and aleph 2's. I swapped out a 2 meter red dawn rca for a 2 meter spm xlr. I noticed a fairly large improvement in the systems level of detail and quietness. Could have been the switching to balanced cable.
