Agreed 100%. sorry, one clear difference is "my father's eyes - Eric Clapton, unplugged". Those snaps of drum stick running thorughout the song sound totally different everytime I change the sequence: E30>L30 : clean, sharp,"stick hitting edge of drum frame" E30>L30>SP100: rounder, and there's a 'ringing' as the stick hits... and there's more separation of each instrument and the sound more precise... did volume matching... I thought I was imagining it but when repeated, there is always some difference. Now I am itching to try a preamp-amp setup or even try balanced amp/cables...hahaha...this is dangerous
