I have actually measured ground plane noise differences with some of the TT3.0 changes. I have not done an exhaustive check of all the different tweaks and what they do, let alone come to any conclusions about what the mechanism is for that change in noise, nor any correlations between those noise changes and audibility. I was more about "is there ANY measurable difference". I'm in the process of building a much more sensitive ground plane noise measurement system which should help in further tests.
