Unfortunately, whenever you remove and reattach cables (interconnect or power) you affect the surfaces of the connection. Usually you get an improvement simply by removing and reattaching things. Does your system sound a bit tired? Try removing and reattaching all cables. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
