Well, the V3 is all set up - all I can say is WOW.
Only an initial first listen as wifie was asleep and yelling at me to turn it down.
Soundstage is wider, deeper and the best part - sooooo much more precise. Even better than all of that, it is so much more STABLE - one of the things that annoyed me most about my system previously was that the soundstage jumped around a bit depending on frequency - it just didn't give that dead-stable centre image - but now, wow!
I am also appreciating a lot more definition, particularly in the upper-treble.
I'd love to use the veil cliché but won't!
When I have time, I'll give impressions of this versus my Marantz 8300 playing redbook and SACDs. That should be a shootout!
