Hi Gaz - yes it was good "straight out the box". I didn't do any listening for a few hours so it had a little burn in time but not extensive.
Over the last few days I think there has been a bit of a change - not in detail but in the depth of the soundstage and imagery. One of the things I noticed but can't be at all sure is the "off axis" sound stage is much more stable. I tend to always sit dead centre of the speakers when listening properly but if just having as background music tend to sit in a chair much closer to the left which usually means I get an asymmetric sound stage as you might expect without adjusting the "balance" - well I noted yesterday that even off centre I was hearing a much wider sound stage than before - it was enough of a difference to make me get up and check the "balance" hadn't been altered.
I'm not sure what this betokens but when sitting dead centre there is an enormous depth and breadth to the music that wasn't there before with the REGA and I suspect was not as prominent in the "early days" of the BM.
It could of course all be BS and nonsense :mental: but I don't think so. :)
