Hi Roman and thanks for your interest in my journey and first-hand impressions... I'm back after about a three weeks long Japan (mostly audio related) trip.
I'm still digesting the several systems I listened to, so a bit overdosed and not really willingly going to share on my Blog whatever... the dry, yet enthusiastic post concerning Kato's system was something due...
I mean: when a system and a "room" play so beautifully and harmonically rich in texture and detail, impressive when low end is asked for and so enjoyable, well... that's something to me.
Sure I understand your criticisms, Roman... yet, while listening, everything technical is not considered, at least when pleasure and pros surpass cons - like when you're in the pleasant company of a lady you simply don't think about her kidney or lung functions or when driving a fine motorbike you simply don't think about the metal its clutch is made-of or viscosity of motor-oil...
That was the case... I listened to other expensive systems and I'm NOT impressed by amount of money spent, audio-wise.
Not anymore...
I felt the listening pleasure and involvement, naturality and overall beauty of sound of this system to highly surpass any other system I listened to... not ALE 7 ways in Italy or other Western Electric systems (16A, 15A, 13A) in Europe and Japan, or other Goto-based systems, my own included in Europe and Japan.
Talking about musical enjoyment and pleasure, thanking an audio system... so not considering the possible updates and improvements.
One shot experience and sincere appreciation on my part.
My personal opinion, as Roman correctly pointed out... with no hidden commercial reason but the sharing of my experience.
