Sumiko Blackbird, Shindo and EAR

Hi've recently purchased a Sumiko blackbird. It produces the best sound I've never heard in my system: Shindo monbrison preamp, EAR 890 amp, Quads ESL57 + gradient woofer. If you wonder about a perfect match, this is one. A lot of air, great warmth, and yet amazing detail.

** and I think you are right that it sounds even better... not worlds better, but I find it a tad more transparent.**
It sounds like the difference between a very good, well implemented tranformer vs. not going through a transformer at all. I think this may be the case here, and this would follow the less is more theory.
