Clamping dow a quick release compresses the axle along its length and effectively tightens the bearing adjustment. However tightening axle nuts does not have the same effect as there is no compression of the axle along its length. Therefore hubs with nutted axles should be adjusted without play, and those with QRs should be adjusted with some play which is 'compressed out' as the QR is tightened.

Garth, the only tip I can come up for you, since you say you are being careful, is that you may be adj the cones too tight. I find that even if I rebuild with a rough (relative to new) race and/or using old balls, if I don't apply any preload at all then the bearing feels fine in the hand. However the converse, if adj pristine bearing and have the slightest preload, then the bearing is rough in the hand. Don't forget that tightening outer (mounting) axle nuts or quick-release tightens the cones as well.
