Simon left the building about an hour and a half ago.
It was good to meet you properly Simon.
We performed two tests:
1) Swapping the plugs over in the mains filter between the one that feeds the DAC/output stage and the other that feeds the transport.
2) Connecting everything via the mains block and directly into the wall.
Apart from saying that Simon comes over a lot better in real life (like most of us), those monitor Sony in-ear phones of his are probably the best headphones I have heard. I would love to hear them via a valve headphone amp.
As we largely agreed with each other over what was heard I will leave it to Simon to explain.
