(posted on head-fi too)
i just got a slee solo (2007 edition) last night and when i plugged it in it sounded shocking. very fuzzy and lots clipping. i unplugged it, as a kind of gesture i arbitrarily switched some cables around, plugged it all back in and when it came back on it was immense. i could hear parts of cds id never heard before. v happy.
now tonight im back home, my second night of having it, and its gone back to being terrible. no amount of fiddling seems to make it work right.
what the hell have i done wrong? its a simple enough line, not like i can accidentally plug it into the wrong place arcam cd73 -> (via chord crimson) -> slee solo -> alessandro ms2
is there something im missing? a secret way to turn everything on that makes it work properly?

false alarm, kinda. after about an hour of faffing i figured it out by a process of elimination.
basically everything worked on its own so i reasoned it had to be to do with the cables. eventually i realised that i had to have the arcam amp on too - presumably so that the interconnect from the other output on the cd was going to something. as long as the stereo amp is on, despite it only being indirectly connected to the slee amp, everything is lovely.
thanks for the help i may have had from you guys.

I have had this behaviour with my CD93. If you are running two amplifiers from the two sets of outputs on the CD player, then both amplifiers must be powered. It was explained to me that otherwise the CD player will be trying to power the switched off amplifier.
