Not sure what you mean by "palpable". If you meant would the change "be audible", most likely it will be.

Whether the change is something you'll like is...up to you. There are no "absolutes" here. It's like asking, "what's better, a Bösenedorfer or Stienway grand piano?" The answer is..."It depends. What do you like best?" All that matters is what YOU like, not what anyone else likes or thinks.

Personally, I don't worry about finding "the absolute best", just a system that creates authentic, relaxed (as Hans Beehuyzen says), and involving musical experiences. And, having been in this wacky hobby for over 40 years now, I find I significantly prefer "simple systems" over "complex systems". Gets me closer to Altschuler's Theory of Ideality.
