Portico (non silk) tried to make the sound larger too, but rather in a slightly pushy, aggressive, tiny bit harsh way. BG1, was big, but very clear, mellow and relaxed ... What was also quite obvious, was a reasonably bigger stereo depth, or 3D than the other preamps ...
The question is what it really does to the sound ? Emphasises certain frequencies ? Works as a transformer ? But then it would be difficult to use it for a pure classical music (where some people reportedly favour it over other preamps). A small mystery. Some more samples would be nice ... Next week I will try to discover more a way more about it ...
