interconnects and moving things around isn't the answer...you said you came back 3 days later with the system the same as before except you left equipment on, right?
So the answer doesn't lie in changing things around. You are trying to discover what is the difference now. If you start changing things you will be introducing new variables and you will be hard pressed to understand what has changed.
Isolate the problem. Make sure you have more than one CD to test with, test at different times and be patient. Even if nothing changed, your mood alone could impact things so you want to make sure the change is consistent at a number of times and moods and with a number of CDs you know well. Then if you are still sure there is an issue or the issues is intermittent, I would follow the lead of several other posters and look into electricity control. If you can afford it, get a PS power plant (probably the p-300, $1245 http://psaudio.com/products/p300_overview.asp). If you can get one from a friend or local dealer or I think PS has a 30 day trial period, either way, TRY before you BUY. A lot of money, probably your most expensive piece, but since it will help all 3 NAD units then it is only like $400 a piece. Who knows you might be able to find one used and save a few bucks, just make sure you are getting the most recent model. (But this way you can’t audition it first.)
