I had another go with 8.0 this morning, prior to switching back to 7.1.3 for the reasons in my earlier post. From start up 8.0 appeared to work ok, with the mysterious "bass rumble" I was getting yesterday gone. However, this did not last. At first I noticed a strange bass rumble echo if a track was paused, lasting a second or so. Then later the rumble returned. So it looks like the 8.0 issues I'm having appear intermittent. Plus the issues maybe speaker dependant, as the problems only manifest themselves with SAM enabled. Not all bad news though, I did try RAM prior to switching back to 7.1.3, and initial impressions are that RAM is a remarkably good feature, with the potential to give a substantial lift in sound quality, especially for someone like myself, with an extensive collection of records of many qualities and vintages. Roll on 8.1 with the bugs fixed!
