No reflection on your sound Bob but this isn’t about personal preference this is about a material used in some products that strip the reproduced sound of harmonics and macro and micro dynamics and I’m pretty sure that no one wants that.

My sample is from as I said maybe 10 visitors/listeners week. Not one of these visitors over the last few months since I inserted the Diazas have ever thought my systems lacked macro/micro dynamics, bass texture, correct and not exaggerated harmonics.
Although what I encounter is guys that are not "tuned in" as WBF members are in describing what they hear. They really don't get that granular. They either like it or they don't. A lot of them "like it" because it has a room encompassing pressurization with an incredible layered soundstage. Some like it because the tonality is to their liking. Some like it because it just sounds right to them and they don't even know why, but they like it.
So for this conversation at WBF about materials and their effect on the sound I get it and have at it. In my world it's more about having everything. Micro/macro dynamics, timbre/tonality, layered 3D holographic soundstage, clear articulate textured bass, clear accurate top end, full bodied room filling, wall of sound. I get all of these in spades WITh the Diazas in place. I would not have them in place if my sound, in my estimation did not deliver the goods.
David, you might listen to my system and say it doesn't do anything that you like or it's just all wrong. I would respect your opinion of course, but for myself and everyone that visits me and that's a LOT of people it does everything that both I and they like and enjoy, even if it's wrong to others.
I went back and counted, since I have had the Daizas in my room I have sold 7 sets of speakers, one VYGER, 3 Extreme servers, two integrated amps, and two sets of preamps/amps. All of this from listening to my systems with the Diazas in place. So maybe they do "whatever" to the sound, but for whatever reason they work for me in my environment.
