These lovely things are sounding tremendous this morning, on loan from @crimsondonkey. Having one of those moments when I can’t try favourite albums out quick enough to see how good they sound. Thanks Wayne.
Oh, and other huge upgrade of the day is a pair of sports socks in the slotted ports of my Spendor S8e, tightened up the bass nicely.
Probably just my cheap B&Q extension cables being plugged into two adjacent wall sockets. I am an electronics numpty, but guessing it was creating some king of ground loop, as breaking the chain has also cured a crackle problem when changing sample rates using my streamer.
Need a conditioner or a dc blocker or both. Or something completely different.
