I should state that the prepro is a 8805 with a ADA1500-5 per speaker ...

8805 -> DSP -> ADA1500-5 -> LFR1100

Most music either is from a Apple TV 4k (streaming from apple music or my server) or from a DP-UB820 ultra blu-ray player (for CDs).
So, the above statement really should be attributed to the system as a whole. I.E. Actives with clean power (and sources).
