I adjusted how that cable was sitting, SQ was back, and I made a mental note that I needed to improve the stability of this cable run. But of course I didn't get a Round Tuit, - and today I was feeling, after running several CDs, that there was an issue. Looking around, nothing untoward ... finally, was that cable still in place? Had to squeeze around behind the rig, and, yep, sure enough, that bloody cable had moved, yet again. And was touching what it shouldn't have. So, this time(!!), I secured it properly - and, yes, good listening was back in the house ... . Could such a tiny thing be so significant? Yes, indeed it could - the subtle vibration which that cable experienced was just enough to add a small amount of 'noise' to the link. And I could hear the impact. Unfortunately, this is how fussy you might have to be - depending upon everything - it's the nature of the beast; and to tame it you can either buy into the SR thinking - or do careful testing, and DIY fixes ... Why are your cables moving on their own? Stopping this from occurring would seem to be the better solution here.
