Alex, I'm sure your'll find things to be now 'Well Optimised'.
Thanks for your kind words Alex. We'll do our best not to let the side down.
Just a word about the optimisation. I'm in a state of mild shock right now. For some time a certain member of this forum (who shall of course remain nameless) has been saying: "I'm not trying to be funny Steve but you've really got to rewire your speaker internals with our latest speaker cable". I've been saying, "yeah, yeah, I will", but thinking that changing a relatively short length of cable from reasonably good to better couldn't make much difference.
Anyway, with the show approaching and in an attempt to keep spirits high in the 'Seventh Veil - wired by Omiga Audio' room, I arranged with said member and his bat-eared partner to supply the cable for me to do the rewiring. "Surely I don't have to do the Little Awesomes as well" I said, "there's only a few inches of cable in there". "Yes," they informed me gravely, "the Little Awesomes" as well.
To cut a short story to its appropriate length, the results have been stunning. More clarity and space, which I was half expecting, and tighter, better-timed bass, which I wasn't. I'm well chuffed.
I think that there's something going on here which can't be explained by the laws of physics generally thought to be applicable (capacitance, inductance, resistance, rf interference, skin effect). Maybe there's a physicist out there who can apply his mind to explaining this but something is definitely going on. Either that or a certain member of this forum (who shall of course remain nameless) and his bat-eared partner should be burnt at the stake - after the show of course.
