The evidence is there to see...

Indeed it is. My comments have been clear and consistent:

1. Don't experience that with my Audio Research preamp.

2. In my case, I find no difference in tonal quality between using my ARC preamp vs. DACT attenuators with a GamuT CD-1.

3. I don't perceive any change of tonal balance when the preamp is bypassed and replaced by attenuators.

4. I got extremely smooth response from 25 hz to 200 hz.

5. Regardless of the sonic signature of various components, you want a neutral result in the end. In room measurements vary by +- 1.5 db from 30 hz to 200 hz. As compared to live sources like my wife's baby grand, the lower midrange is as neutral as it measures.

6. No, I don't want *more* warmth. I took considerable pains to get audibly and measurably flat response and that is where I want the sound to stay.

I recommend that you redouble your efforts with understanding the English language. Best of luck with your crusade. :)
