Maybe it is cheating in a sense, but I agree with John's posting that it has a desirable outcome. I use the purcell/delius (dcs) combo and I find that using it really improves the quality of the sound. How so? Cymbals are cleaner and clearer, more subtle detail is heard (I listen to a lot of jazz from the 50's and 60's so the details are things like shuffling feet, finger movement on a sax, etc.). Also, the soundstage is generally more precise (instruments are easier to keep track of). One mag reviewer referred to this type of improvement as taking a layer of cotton off of your speakers.
