Could the sonic difference be due to the system being dismantled and put back together and connections being cleaned? Or did nothing get disconnected?
The answer would be no to your question. I've taken the system down three times in a day during the first few months trying to work out the torque required on the fasteners for best sound. Everytime I reassembled the Fraim the rig took on the same sonic characteristics depending upon torque fastener tightness. Additionally, I spent two months A/Bing it against two other brands owned at the time as well as other borrowed units and the differences between all were easily heard. With Naim gear at least, the Fraim makes a difference for the better.
