It doesn't contain the term creamy, but it surely is a useful resource and an interesting read. Now, I have another reason to look forward to the arrival of an Amphora - to hear for myself what you and ghostmusic described as creamy. When I hear it, I'll likely think to myself, " ... well, how else WOULD such a sound be described?".
Again, thanks very much for your help.
edit:
I guess that's part of the calling of creating sublime listening instruments - helping your listeners to develop vocabularies sufficient to adequately describe what we hear using your instruments, if that's even possible. I suppose, like all vocabulary, the terms are useful because they make available, as a quick reference, the content of the shared understandings or experiences to which they refer.
