Just to clarify an interesting point about Baltic3 Versus Horizon.
In fact, the two designs share absolutely zero common parts, their digital engine shares zero parts and zero topology, the tube stage share zero parts and zero topology. The whole schematics doesnt have any parts or ideas in common except the fuse and the XLR sockets. My "bastard" comment was about the ideology, the fundamental principle of testing parts and operating points with new spectrum analyzer connected during nblind listening tests. This is new approach and ideology - test 6 options and choose by ear if analyzer does not protest. First we made Balitic like that and we love it, so we decided 2 years later to give same ideas to Horizon - hence the bastard son joke.
