Your description reminds me quite a bit of my CKK. Would be interesting to compare.

CKKK is more outwardly warm and actually kind of has a little bit of veil. ECRT is more bloomy but is clearer and faster. Not really close sound at all.

Your descriptions seem to match how you describe my Krell.

I would be curious to try it if there is indeed a loaner.

I'm super curious as well. Sounds like everything i like while conceding aspects that are not top priority to me (resolution).

Was just talking earlier that we should get CT, ZD, Marv and Anax together and we'd have the entire EC lineup to play with.

Your descriptions seem to match how you describe my Krell.

Some similarities. Your Krell might be more resolving for very low level information. RT is more bloomy in lower mids, maybe darker, more bite, sharper attacks, more aggressive; but with tube like tonality.
