Right off the bat the Dmitri is night and day on bass. I know that comment can be subjective or relative, but it's not a descriptive I use lightly, so much tighter and accurate, soooooo right! I have much more listening to do, but everything was a little more detailed.........perhaps there was less bass amp "stealing" power from front end components. (I have everything plugged into it.......bass amp, Levison 33H's and my front end)
