You have changed several caps in the signal path. I suggest you leave the amp running for a few days and then listen again- letting the caps burn in, especially in the feedback loop which has tiny voltage and current to deal with, can make a surprising difference.
If after a week you are still unhappy, then make changes.
Hi,
sure, I'm aware of possible changes - and I still want to swap the main caps as well to a pair of fresh ones.
However, the whole exercise has shown to me how important it is to service the NAIM amps. Surprisingly enough that nobody else is asking customers to do this to other amps. With idle current of 10mA, the amp could have never been running that hot and so it's surprising to learn that the 10uF changed that much. As this have been Vishay BC and not Philips, I'm sure, they must have been changed some time ago.
