When you do the "Bolero" test, what are you looking for beyond a potential DC leakage hum/buzz?
I just did the Bolero test, but with different quiet music since I dont have Bolero. I did not get any abnormal buzzing/noise. It was quite loud which brought out a lot of the recorded "hiss". Do I need to find a quieter recording to tell if this "hiss" is some sort of incompatibility [I am running 2M balanced ICs from my CDP to my amp]?
This hiss is also there when the pre is in the system, but I am not so sure it is the same level of hiss...I guess I need to spend more time on this. The recording I am using is great music, but poorly recorded. Ill try finding a better recording.
