Kinda expected it The better the whiskey, the tastier the cocktail I guess, however isn't that like drinking champagne on the rocks? Never tried a Sazerac though. Maybe it makes the rye moar better.
Indeed, it's been my first experience with straight rye whiskey and I'm pleasantly impressed. I guess people don't use this same one to prepare the Sazerac cocktail, do they?
I like the piano version better than the orchestral one of that work, though both are nice.
This is a whole morning task (I'm off after an on-call shift)

I comment this because one of the guys who loves the K701 with the V8 thought the GS-1 is an overly cold and analytic amp so maybe the OP would think the same.
I think the 701 are decent for the price and may work for many people with the right amp and source, but once you know "better" there's no way back.
You nailed it. A euphonic amp will add pleasant coloration to the sound, but won't remove the inherent distortion and response peak those damn AKG things have.
