Am I the only one

Coach,

I have the SR Signature 10 Bi-Wire cables with the active shielding. Try this unplug the shielding on your cables for 24 hours. Give your system a listen then plug the shielding back in and see if you don't notice a difference.

This is only a guess but only unplugging the shielding for a couple of minutes won't tell you anything as there is still residual capacitance left on the cables.

I personally had something very intersting happen with my system. I sat down to listen one day and the system didn't sound right something had changed for the worse. After some investigation I found that my grandson had turned off the active shielding to all of my SR cables. I turned the switch back on and that sweet sound was back.

Last of all have your cables burned in yet. That might also be the reason you arnt hearing the difference.

Good luck.

Well I guess my system is sensitive enough. I followed your advice. I unplugged the thing last night when I got home from work. When I sat down for my nightly listen I noticed the music sounded OK but a little dry. I smiled. After letting it run all night,I plugged it back in while putting Chich Corea on pause. Hitting play, play hit back. Oh man. All the juice was back. Detail,soundstage,depth,MUSIC. Where was this stuff before? No matter,it's here now. Looks like the emperor got dressed. Thanks man. I owe you one.

Coach,

Glad to know I could help. Hope you have many hours of happy listening.

I thought the design was meant to lower the noise level? Might be you are blessed with a low noise environment. Just a thought.
