Power conditioner help
I have used the P10 with Transparent cabling and it has worked well. I have also used older Transparent power cords with the P10 and they worked well also. But when i changed to the High Fidelity MC 6 Hemisphere the sound stage just about doubled....

I am with you OZZY, but it does not sound like it going to happen sorry to say. 
Classe Processor and Amp
I have found that the Oppo sound much better with XLR cables. Are you using a video coaxial cable or a true RCA stereo cable? 
OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby)
I have found that the XLR outs sound much better on the Oppo than the RCAs I all so found that the Oppo has a 300 hour break in before they sound better. For the money they hold their own, but not against a higher quality unit like a Esoteric disc...

Amps and Preamps has standby, but should I turn them completely off?
