Wow, that is very similar. I noticed that when I started (somewhat unconsciously changing my system to better reproduce classical... acoustic, that most all other music types got better (maybe not Rock)... but jazz, electronic, world and of course classical. Befor that a move that made electronic sound better made the rest sound less good.


After I wrote above I thought:

- Less slam but better and more ubiquitous bass

- The whole first as well as the parts... instead of optimizing all the parts. Great gestalt
