I can think of another instance where only 2 inches would be worse buddy

Smaller ones give you more pleasure with higher resolution, larger ones give others more pleasure as bit density is lower.

Gary how did the Lehman do? They've always had a reputation for great value.

Very detailed, highly resolved, tonally very neutral. The best of the commercially available ones.

the linto was optimized for the klyde/troika carts (150-200uv)

That might be why I thought that it sounded the most compressed of the whole lot - the OC9 was probably already bumping up against its maximum headroom.
