I've read that particular article a couple of times, and the way i read it was, the guy was saying how the p-75 betters the rotel, and how he was amazed that it did, with the rotel costing so much more.

The paragraph that I mentioned, forget PE mode..it just like subsonic mode

Moving on to the standard MC setting with a Benz Micro L0.4 on a Roksan Xerxes-RB300, the result was similar to that heard with MM, though comparison showed the Dyna’s advantage in low-level subtle detail retrieval over the Rotel was reduced (the RHQ-10 is more transparent through its MC setting than MM).

However, I felt that the P-75’s sound in both standard modes was slightly short on body. The RHQ-10 produced richer, more fully fleshed out sonic images which, while softer-edged and less detailed, had a truer-to-life density – for example, Luka Bloom’s voice on Fertile Rock appeared that much more like emanating from a real human head, and I felt I heard more of the acoustic guitar’s body’s characteristics. The Rotel also had the edge when it came to sound stage depth and sounding big and bold, if a little fruitier in the lower ranges. Heavy hitting drum work (a swing big band playing Sing Sing Sing) had gutsier thwacks to them.
I don't have Rotel RHQ-10 but I've listen to my friend's setup. He uses Xlo power cord (entire system), vdh db102mkIII i/c and Kimber 8TC spk cable.

According to him the creek is much more transparent. musical and detail than P-75. I don't know....got to find out.
