If you prefer that, then fine, but I didn't make those comments lightly. I bet that if you set them to where I suggested, they sound more like the Signifers, don't they? The Ditton 66's would probably be too far in the other direction I suspect, but I never owned a pair or had friends with some at home, as I did with the Signifers.
The use of these attenuators must surely be location and person dependant , I therefore [ with all necessary due respect } fail to see the relevance of your findings ,beyond the simple fact this is how you preferred to listen to them .You are once again tittering of the edge of telling some one else there is a best way to listen to them.

I considered that before I responded and had dave simply left his first post as was then I would not have commented .

I like many others are always interested to read Dave's personal experience ,unlike others { perhaps} I am particularly sensitive to his desire to elevate his opinion to the status of fact without evidence . ;)
