This is about the 3rd time I’ve tried to write something in the last couple of days and every time I’ve tried my impressions have changed in some ways. There are a lot of comments on the Uptone Audio forums about break-in and there does seem to be a break-in. Part of it is definitely a change in the overall sound over time and part of it is changes in me and how I’m relating to what I’m hearing. The general trend is for things to improve over time but I had a brief period where I thought things sounded a little aggressive and a longer period where I thought things were sounding overly polite. Both of those passed. I don’t know if I still have any more of those surprises in store for me.

Noplans to try different ethernet cables or PSUs. It's not that I don't think they can make a difference, it's that I'm really happy with the sound at the moment and I don't want to make any changes.

I'll get around to tweaking things again at some stage but it's always really nice to sit back and relax whenever things really come together for a while, and that's where I feel things are at the moment.

I’ve been more or less in the mode of constantly adding and adjusting my system and you spend the entire time waiting for something or another to run in, only to embark on the next change. I agree that sometimes its nice to just take a long pause and enjoy what you have.

You're right to suggest we're involved in a search for the Holy Grail but you left out the most important part: there's a bigger element of Monty Python involved in the search than anything else :-)

What else could you call an iterative process of never quite getting there?
