Have to agree with Serge, Jim, nice review, as always.
Your notes comparing Delta NR with Venom NR are very, very concordant to my experiences.
Another attribute I would say they bring is what I refer to as "dynamic slam"; the ability of the system to transition very quickly and powerfully from, say ppp to ff and back again, and have the presentation hold tightly with coherence. Their ability to convey depth and space and hall ambience in the recording is really remarkable, as well. A great example of this is the superb orchestral recording and mastering of Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez by The Academy and Pepe Romero on Philips.
