One guy voted "Yawn" straight down the chart and his scores were not included above. Foot note: Most noticed an imaging issue is the first few seconds. We paused, I check all the connections and polarity. All was fine. Middle seaters noted that vocals were in the center (somewhat) and it did not sound out of phase, but out of focus. Dodd Amp (amp D) Turn on noise:__________3 Excellent Noise floor:____________1 Good, 2 Excellent Detail or resolution:______1 Decent, 3 Good Dynamics:_____________1 Decent, 2 Good Distortion: _____________1 Decent, 1 Excellent Top end Quality :_________3 Good Vocal range: ____________1 Decent, 2 Good, 1 Excellent Bass Quality :___________1 Decent, 3 Good, 1 Excellent Instrument clarity:________2 Good Imaging placement:_______1 Good, 2 Excellent Overall sound:___________1 Decent, 2 Good Comments: Articulate, great image and weight, fluid top end, more solid imaging, very clean, nice balance with better bass, easy to pick out instrument placement in stage, good air, dynamics good, very open and smooth, edgy, a little bright on the top end. One guy voted "Good" straight down the chart and his scores were not included above.
