I think some of that is the type of music I was listening to. At first simple..jazz,female vocals... later rock,symphonic,Jazz-big band..more complex sounds= more high end distortion. However Morrow audio , cables interconnects..., warn you that things get worse,before better. Also with me three things happened... I hit the proper location/toe in, hit about 90 to 100 hours and put the feet tips and pucks on. Now I cannot see how they can get any better in this room,with all associated equipment. I could not get through any Radiohead,War on Drugs,Depeche Mode or any rock. Now I am hearing all I was intended to. Clear,clean,dynamic, precisely staged,holographic sound. I am not at the concert hall, the musicians are in my room. I am snapping my fingers and tapping my toes and that as good as it gets.
