What I find especially annoying is that I tend to "remember" the sounds/effects of the various electrical problems, so once I've heard them, I tend to recognize them more often thereafter. This phenomenon keeps getting brought home to me in one situation after another.
As I have written elsewhere, I have figured out an empirical method of setting VTA, and this has afforded me far more consistent sound, in the mechanical sense. In fact, the sound has been much better overall, way more often. At the same time, the electrical problems have gotten more apparent as being just that, and still they are no less pernicious in terms of their effects on the presentation of music. I am not hearing the (apparent) +/- magnification of slight tracking anomilies to the extent I did before, but the damned BE itself also seems to have a brain and "memory" to +/- mimic the effects.
In other words, the freaking Bad Electricity is not just variable, it is beginning to look/sound like it's as VARIABLE as the sound itself, and perhaps also the Music!
