RE: I especially agree on the part about...

Pretty cool, Knewton. I can't even solder well.

If you're up for experiments would you consider 2 suggestions?

1) Assuming it's stock, remove the Monster power thing from the mix and tell me what you hear.

2) It looks like your gear's on a concrete slap. If so, and after testing without the Monster power, remove the Monster and the bottom plate. Get some little steel pucks, even 3 or 4 car lug nuts to use as footers between the amp chassis and the floor. Try to put a couple of the lug nuts underneath near the mounting studs of the PCB boards, and put about 50 lbs. of some heft on top of your amp. In the end, it should be metal to metal to concrete.

You should notice some gains right away, but give it a week or so and I'll bet dollars to donuts it will probably change everything you thought you knew of audio.
