I agree and by marked degree. My tweaked 200 is presenting a significantly enhanced depth with a richer, more robust, full-bodied and articulate control than 10 minutes earlier that sounds more powerful yet simultaneously more relaxed than previous 7/8 revisions.
Only thing I can think of is perhaps my PEMectomy more closely matches the new design-spec PEM used in the latest/greatest Original d'Atelier. Coupled with hrky's initial thoughts above and he's running no PEM as I am. No one else hears much difference. Coincidence? No one's more surprised by this find than me! I fully expected to install it, listen then immediately dump it as just another half-hearted or premature effort. I'm impressed!
