Am I the only one

I've picked up a a pair of SR Alpha Quads 10' bi-wired speaker cables. These cables have the active shielding and I have the MPC plugged in. Trouble is I hear no difference between the charged state and the uncharged.
System:
Anthem AVM 30
ATI 1807 Amp
B&W S805's
Denon 2900
Bel Canto 2 Dac
It's plugged into the wall and not a power conditioner. The blue lights are on at the back of the speakers so I know there working. This system sounds great to me,but I feel like I'm missing something. Little help,eh.

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.

Michael
