I don't think an Essence STX will yield the same results from rolling as a Spitfire.
I hate LME49720/49710's plasticky sonic color.
I had a STX back in the days, and had a lot of fun rolling the opamps...I just couldn't stand the uber-crappy drivers. And saying that all the opamps as I/V sound the same is nonsense. Try LME49720HA/LT1364/AD8599 to replace the crappy stock 2114, hah. I also cannot stand the 4562/49720NA metallic mids...especially on the STX because they're clearly not stable there, as a 4562 on the Spitfire sounds miles different. And the $2 headamp on the STX is very harsh, line-out FTW.
