Just turned it up and sat down to listen more critically.
It sounds very very good. Plenty of attack on the piano notes and vocals are fabulous. The Stabilant 22 treatment has definitely worked!
Checked the temperatures these are all in the 30-35 range, with only the Companion showing 35 on the Class A amp. The other readings are all 30-32.

Hi Guillaume,
Did you get the same feeling as I did that it just gets better after 24 hours or does it just sound as good as you would normally find it?
My feeling is that it sounds more natural after 24 hours + of continuous playback. This is entirely subjective though and is probably quite a subtle thing. It certainly doesn't sound any worse!
