New soft tweak in W10 Pro x64 1909 -> great sound improvement again!!! I thought that little else could improve but the improvement is very appreciable, surprising.

DR14 -2.95 dB -23.76 dB 5:49 A2 Un Bal
The new soft tweak has four level. I have been playing with them with the indicated theme. At level four the detail is excessive and will cause fatigue. Level 2 or 3 are better, without fatigue.
Now with level 2, like yesterday.
Delay at JRiver MC v25: 4.2 ms (more depth in near field too). Weeks ago, 5 ms. After the last touch up I did to the amplifier:
* Music: 3 ms -> 2.6 ms (days ago: 2.4 ms)
* Orchestral: 5 ms -> 4.2 ms.

I have always been surprised how these small coaxials (KEF Q100) can reproduce an orchestral mass. After the last changes in the tweeter filter (Miflex KPCU-01 0.01uF 600Vdc as bypass and Mills MRA5 0.68 Ohms) the improvement is very noticeable.
Sounds much better than another more modern recording and has bigger DR, from Mackerras and the LSO, 1986, and that is recorded in 1959!!!
