This makes me think i might have found the r2r 7 better on headphones before the last tweaks just because the nfb-1amp is not as neutral as the master-1/monoblocks combination i use with speakers, This neutrality would reveal every characteristic. Following that logic, it is really easier to produce an enjoyable source using a slightly colored output stage. A tube output stage is often used to that effect. But in the end, the transparent stage and amplification is preferable when everything performs as it should, i suppose. You simply need more tweaking to be happy with the sound with a less forgiving analog chain.
Some frequency range was missing to the mix before, which subtracted the key work (from the saxo) on the Getz/Peterson album i was easilly picking with the M7. This an important element to hear in this record. Also the most lyrical saxo sequences of this album got more,expressive. They had to be, knowing how lyrical Stan Getz is.
