Hi:
I recently consolidated in my home office by moving an Aurender N100H to the same shelf as an Ampsandsound Mogwai SE. Bought 3" hardwood blocks to place on the side of the Aurender, and placed the amp on top of these wooden blocks w/ BDR cones under the amp (see photo).
On brief listening I believe the sound is more smeared together. Instruments don't sound as separated and distinct. There is no hum or audible background change. Do you guys think component proximity can lead to EMI/RFI noise affecting this tube amp?
Cabling is unchanged. System is Aurender -> Curious Evolved USB -> Vinnie Rossi LIO DAC -> DH Labs Air Matrix (shielded) -> Mogwai SE. The Aurender is connected to a power conditioner, and the Mogwai uses a Shunyata NR power cord directly to the wall. Again, cabling is unchanged, merely moving the proximity of the Aurender to the Mogwai.
Thanks for your thoughts.
