After spending almost the last 2 weeks fiddling with my new Pro, reconfiguring my power cords in my setup and evaluating with SAM and without SAM, i finally settle without SAM.
With the decent source and proper grounding, the Pro has better transparency, true to source performance.
With SAM (mine is set to 0%), there is slightly tighter in bass and also dynamics. However, the sound at the higher frequencies seems to get slightly obscured.
Without SAM, the music seems to be slightly open up and natural to the instruments. Less impact in bass, however more definition and textures.
Comparing with the D200, the 220 Pro without SAM has a better overall performance (including the bass segment) compare to D200 with SAM on.
i am curious to see if more people have similar observations with the new Pro.
