I am sure I could work on Usher with no problems!

You said to post "ALL" feedback, so here goes.

Here's my setup:

PC > Keces DAC > Pass DCB1 (pre) > Parasound HCA-750a > Magnepan MG10 speakers w/ rebuilt crossovers

All Blue Jeans Cable. This system is the most resolving and transparent system I've ever put together, so I feel like I was able to really listen in and hear all the subtle differences. That said, I think you should have waited for the stereo version of the modified speakers.

Also, when you released these recordings, I would have rather just listened for myself instead of you telling me what I should hear Trey.

Here are my thoughts:

The modified version sounded more dynamic. I did notice the snare sounding "fatter" in the modified speakers. But again, when combining two channels to form a mono track, it could be perceived that something sounds different when in actuality, the combined channels are creating that illusion. I heard a slight loss of bass clarity in the modified speakers. At this point I absolutely cannot pick one over the other.

Hey, all feedback is good feedback!

This was a preliminary release, I debated for literally 2 to 3 weeks whether or not to put that recording up. Everyone has been reasonably understanding and positive...

But yes, thank you for your feedback! :)

Mikey has been so kind to let me use his LSi9 for the next modified LSi9 recording that is not mono....
