So I asked about it. You said you chose 8422 based on practice and theory. Theory says you chose it based on capacitance/foot, and what it was designed for. Practice says you chose it based on listening comparisons.My guess is that those comparisons were skewed based on the names on the jacket. Unless, of course, it was a carefully controlled DBT. But I find that hard to believe.
All that being said, I never heard a difference in IC's between cdp and preamp. Preamp and amp was where audible differences were easily detectable. I now have a cdp with variable outputs connected directly to the amp. I am keeping the less-expensive pair of XLR ic's and selling the more expensive pair I own, as I hear no difference between the two.
