Final word on the "clicking" problem?

My De Rosa has a clicking problem (but not a going problem!)

I've tightened chainring bolts, replaced the BB, swapped out the pedals and shoes, lubed the chain, and swapped out the rear wheel.

I think I've solved the problem by torquing the cassette to spec (50nM) using a torque wrench. In the past, I've always tightened the lock ring until it clicked a few times.

While cleaning the cassette (and looking for defects) I noticed there was a slight bit of play...

Monday I took the De Rosa out for the Monday night ride (~30 miles) and it was quiet for a change! (Craig and I were the only riders to show.)
