Big thanks goes out to Jones99 for bringing in the gear, and also to TP1, great host as always.

Here are just some comments from myself, it was just a quick listen so may not be accurate:

Snakeoil machine has more bass definition, giving music that important backbone and body. The only thing I'm missing is the harmonics, the vocals and instruments seem to lack a natural reverb, making them sound dry and closed in. Imaging is good and precise, just seems to lack something.

Antipodes sounds very natural, music just makes sense as everything just sound right. However it lacks the speed/power/control of the Snakeoil machine in the lower frequencies.

We just tried too many things and introduce too many variables for anything definitive. But where is the fun if we stay totally methodical?

For me personally there just is something about the NF9C that draws me into the music. And thank you TP1 for donating two NF9C variants for the Snakeoil project. Having said that, my preference for the NF9C could be the alcohol . Now if only I can install Snakeoil on the Antipodes.
