Yup, sterile sound at low volumes about sums it up. At high volumes it's very different for me.
Cable.... I already hate myself for getting this far into this audiophile world. I think if I started comparing cables it's time to jump off Brighton pier! However, if it's not too expensive I may have a punt just to convince myself cable can make no difference to the sound... :-) ... groan... I'm more interested in this valve pre-amp. What is it? I have a pair of old Quad IIs and when I fixed them up to the Arcs (which is no way could they drive properly) I was immediately gobsmacked by the voluptuousness of the sound (this with big slow synth washes). Maybe I should just have done with it and copy Adam Slim's ultimate timbre valve set up...... :-) or stick with the radio.
