Have to say the Purifi 1ET400A sounds fabulous very crudely set up on the test bench here

Folks, CMRR is spec’ed as 60dB or better, and the resistor tolerances are chosen accordingly (working this out is left as an exercise for the reader). It is a matter of statistics that if you have a grab bag of x% resistors and you take two at random, they are quite likely to be matched within a fraction of x%. So there’s nothing unusual about a module that suddenly has a CMRR of 20dB better than spec. In fact, it would take a lot of effort not to have the occasional “way better than spec” exemplar.
As I read Maty’s first remark after my post, he said that if people are going to charge a mint for an input buffer to go with the 1ET400A, the least they could do is provide measurable evidence that it actually adds value. I wouldn’t necessarily pick CMRR specifically as the item they have to improve but I sympathise massively with the sentiment..

I’m not sure whether I should read your questions regarding employment as half-serious or not, so for the sake of completeness: you can always send a CV.
I haven't performed any serious comparisons yet so I will hold fire on commenting.How does the Purifi setup sound compared to your P701 amps?
Indeed. In the linked pdf from Bruno he points out how star doesn't work at high frequencies.PCBs tend tend toward use of ground planes over single-point or star-earthing.

Thank goodness for ASR.
