Can someone tell me what wrong
If you have swopped over each single component in turn and kept every other variable the same, and the noise never follows to the other channel one particular component, but sometimes goes away in both channels after you've made the change, then i... 
As much as I try, I just don't get it........
What do you think of the *comparative* nature of this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0YkKlEMe8w  
Can someone tell me what wrong
I think we can help you, by the process of elimination you describe, but your description of each change you make needs to be clearer and more specific.For instance, what's the difference between swopping the monoblocks and hooking them up to oppo...

How much lead and silica sand in speaker stands?

The graphs in Atkinson's measurements of amps in Stereophile are quite helpful.  He pushes amps to their limit, and you can see the line heading skyward in the graph where it goes into clipping.  He also specifies % of distortion allowed to measur...

@stereo5 Actually, standard British spelling, which is what I use.Do you write gray or grey?

Swop the connections (L to R, R to L) at one end of the cable, and see if the energy follows the swop. If it does, you know you have some kind of problem with the new cables.

I googled expansive grout and all the top results were for non-explosive demolition grout.That can’t be right. 
Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles.
My understanding is that SS and tube amps, generally speaking, tend to behave rather differently.  Distortion will increase just a little until the SS amp reaches its limit, at which point distortion tends to skyrocket.  Whereas tube amps will hav... 
Are there any tube amps that don't give off any---
