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.

I believe your setup is not sensitive enough to use better quality cable. From all the systems we used with SR active cables we had found that it sounded quieter with shielding on than without ( high freq is softer )
You need to upgrade your amp/preamp to audio only type and not home theater combo. The difference can be night and day.

Coach, I was on the same boat as you back in 1999 when I got back into audio hobby again. I had the bryston/lexicon setup but Hi end Audio and HT are two different fruits. I see you already got the audio speakers, why not go for the pure audio route?
