I like this, it feels more 'relaxed' to me, but I wonder which is the more 'correct' presentation of the original audio. I don't know.

I'm thinking this might be a taste thing more than an objectively provable 'this is better than that' sort of thing. Has anybody else tried this with their setups?

And an interesting description of your experience. You've induced me to try this for myself.
I don't see a point in trying to prove objectively that 'this is better than that.' We're dealing with a psycho-acoustical experience. To quote my graduate-school officemate, "there's no accounting for taste."
Fortunately I live close to two urban areas (Baltimore MD and Washington DC) with access to plenty of live performances across the full musical spectrum set in many different venues from intimate rooms to orchestra halls and outdoor stages. In the last month, I've heard a soloist pianist, a jazz trio and a jazz quintet, a tribute rock band, and a Scottish pipe and drum band. Orchestra season starts in the fall. I find that the more live performances I attend, the more tolerant I am of my system at home. You'd think it would be the other way around. Maybe that's just me or maybe it's a memory effect.

Kent
