Audiolabyrinth. I appreciate Kiddmans comments.Mixing and matching can always be factors. However I find most people use no isolation or conditioning on their solid state pre or amp and so noise becomes a significant contribution to the overbright upper end of the loudspeakers used.
I'm glad you have discovered just what joy comes out of properly set up isolation & conditioning, power cables, speaker cables, i/c's. I know a lot of folks don't have the patience or the ears for it. We are lucky.
