Bo, Was the system at that show identical to your system? If not, how can you be sure that what you heard is attributable to the cables?

Bo1972: That makes sense.

Yes it was identical, I only used the Pl-100 instead of the GXFX speakers. I used only Purist Audio LE 2013 powercables. For the rest it is identical. Audyssey EQ and Volume and my way of measurment gives me more dynamics and a far better articulation of info what is on a recording. But without the Audioquest the level in blacks is a lot lower. This is very important to make the 3-dimensional stage this thrilling. At the end you hear to all the parts. They are all important to get this level. Every tool ( speaker, amp, source, cable etc) I test I want to know which talents/properties it has. It is my goal to get all of the talents out of it. So I need and use other tools to get this level.

I the last months I sold many Onkyo PR-SC5509 with my measurment to clients who had much more expensive pre-amps. Because the level I can get out of there sets is that much higher. Without this measurment it is worth a lot less. For example the tripod and the tool for the microphone Audyssey delivers is useless. I use all the knowledge I have gathered in the 15 years that I do this work.

Bo1972: With the Onkyo being a mutichannel home theater unit, are you able to run that in 2 channel only?
