and hope these comments about warmth and stuff is overstated.
It so happens the Gustard is the same price as new WE300B tubes I've been thinking about, so some restraint is in order.IME, Chord TT2 with MScaler is warmer than neutral as well, but with more resolution than Qutest. Allo Shanti LPS with modified shorter and doubled DC cable adds enough resolution, density, and weight to Qutest that my upgrade from Qutest/Shanti will not be to TT2.
It also bothers me how all of Chord gear seems so high priced for the amount of "stuff" you get. I'm sure Rob Watts would disagree... :)
