Thanks Ralph.

Folks, I've been updating the data on some of the other models as part
of the upcoming look at different transport devices for comparison.

Check out the new addition on the Transporter:

The slow roll-off filter was earlier/steeper than I had previously
thought! I guess I wasn't hallucinating when I thought I could actually
hear the difference (compared to slow roll-off with other devices where
they start around ~15kHz)... :-)

Do you personally prefer the slow roll off? Just curious.

Thanks for the update.

Depends. In general 90%+ I will listen with the "sharp" setting even
with my relatively bright Paradigm Signature S8's.

However, on occasion I will switch over to the slow roll-off when
listening to particularly bright old CD's like some of the 80's first
pressings or harsh sounding remasters (the Cat Stevens remasters from
~2000, Duran Duran remasters ~2009 comes to mind)...
