"The blacks are stunning..."
What do you mean by that Bo? You mention it alot in your posts along with your love of the 3D presentation of music. I remember when I bought my first CD player back in '87. It's what stood out, how quiet the background was. I felt that something was missing. Maybe because of the increased dynamic range of digital over my vinyl rig at the time? I hear people talk about "the blacks" but am clueless what that means. I personally find the lower the noise floor the more ambient information I hear and the better the cabling, faster transients and timing cues, the more I hear the musical information and ambient noise from the venue. To the contrary, my experience is better cabling doesn't make it blacker.
