The Yamamoto is an alternative to my Audio Note Conquest Silvers with a CDT2/II and DAC3.1x up front, followed by an M3 pre and AN E/LX Signatures batting clean-up. At 98dB with external crossovers (20+lbs of copper foil caps/channel, I can assure you they were not the source of the bit of edge. I finally decided that the ASC coupling caps might be the culprits and replaced them with Audio Note copper foils. Voila !! Smooooth, and some nice additional body as well. (Don't try this at home kids, unless you didn't want a warranty anyway!)
I'm using the Emission Labs 45 meshplates. Yummy. Nice to see a meshplate that actually has MESH for a change, too.
