The crosstalk of A90(-105db) measures worse than the THX789(-127db), though both over -85db, should be inaudible. so I understand why Amir doesn't specify the crosstalk issue.
But from Amir's measurement, we see A90's channel difference rises significantly after 16ms compared to THX789. Is this an issue at all?
And from subjective side, lots of subjective reviews in both western and Chinese hifi forum report that the soundstage of A90 is mediocre, worse than THX 789 (though I do not trust such subjective reports at all but you will find this phenomenon if you read some forums and reports about A90.)
And I notice that the Topping's preamp Pre90 has much better crosstalk figure at -140db.
Is this a potential argument to validate the untrustworthy subjective reviews that Topping A90's soundstage feeling is not that good???
