A Confused streaming system - Mutec / SOtM Ultra

[thumb5]

Something comes to my mind here: it's very easy to get hung up about a particular aspect of your system's sound, and become super-sensitive about it.  Meaning that you get into a frame of mind in which it's hard to listen without hearing the very thing you're listening for.  As part of your series of experiments, @Confused, are you able to make some objective measurements of frequency response to determine whether there is any measurable difference between the SOtM and mR?  That would be an interesting thing to know for sure.  Simply finding that there is no measurable difference -- if that's the outcome -- might make it go away subjectively, too.
