Digital Cable (again).
You left the Silver Sonic D750 in for 18hrs and gave up? I went through the same process a few months ago and the D750 just like the HDMI (which bettered WW ultra violet 7 and AQ Coffee) has better extended highs and better harmonics(musicality in... 
Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had?
Yes , very satisfied with my music playback! 
Holographic, 3D Solid State Amp under $6k
SS amp (10-15 first class A watts) in that budget ? Parasound Jc5 and pick your tube preamp. The xlr connections are very solid! 
Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long
The outlet is done settling in and took 600-700 hrs to do so! The result is well worth the wait and is flat out what could be considered  essential as it's the best outlet money can buy and does indeed represent the current SOTA. Hard pressed to g... 
“Black background” — What really contributes to this phenomenon?
Power first,get that part right from the in the wall and from the wall and work your way up from amp ,source ,preamp and good cables . The room and speakers will let you know if you've succeeded .  
Down to two ? Shunyata Delta NR or Audioquest Thunder?
I did give the Audio Envy cables a shot with adequate burn in time but returned the PC and Xlr's . The power cable I ended up with is the Clarity Cable Vortex which is just  what I was looking for.

Indeed it's revealing of the source . one main trait this outlet has that I like is it's relentless dynamic burst that can be startling at times but still. Retains musical flow, bit of an enigma at times. I still need another 300+ hrs  I'm at abou... 
Furutech GTX-D NCF or Power Cord
I've got  about 450hrs on a recently installed Furutech GTX NCF and  sharpness in the highs is no where near it's description, it may sound that way somewhere through the brun in process but no different than any other outlet sounding shrill harsh...

I'm in for the long haul as I've been burning in gear for the last three months and this is the icing on the cake! 
Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long
Just over a 120hrs on the GTX ncf and last night sounded good with bass extension returning, the two nights before had me worried. I do use a 1hr break with no signal as two allow a relax period then back at it. I'm burning in Morrow Audio MA 5 xl... 
Can AC Outlets really make a difference?
I'll second the above 100% , I'm currently burning in a Furutech GTX NCF (R)  Prior to was the PS Audio Premier and AQ Edison . Each has a different signature but I'm really liking what I'm getting from the Furutech those far. So 10awg dedicated 2...
