Sudden Silence - What the heck?
A couple months ago put on a new chain (Dura Ace 10-speed) and rear cassette (Shimano CS-5700). Everything worked okay, but the drivetrain was a little noisy after the change. RD adjustments did no help. Today I decided to pull the cassette, just to see if there was anything obvious. Everything seemed to be in order. Reassembled everything and went for a ride. Drivetrain is back to being nice and quiet.
I'm happy, but baffled as to what was "fixed" by merely taking it apart and reassembling.

I think you should take it apart again to see if you get a different result.

I have always documented this type of successful repair as PFM.

Maybe the OP installed it with the spacers not in the correct order. Or maybe he forgot the 1mm spacer when installing it the first time and magically was able to add it the second time.

Did you flip the chain?
