I think the REF I5i is made by Furman, not Furutech... Sounds like you are enjoying the PSM 156 (not PMS!). 🤣

Definitely try the M1S2 direct to your amplifier. That might be a revelation.  Yes, let us know how you like the "more direct" sound.  I'm done for now, thanks to you all for your help & support on my audio journey, time to sit back and e... 
12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable?

ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
I would also wager that any guy walking off the street to hear your rig is not some trained listener and golden ear bat...Sounds like poor quality test subjects to me. @deep_333 For what its worth, this poor quality subject has just acquired ...

ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords
Well, I went to the OP’s place yesterday and listened to his system. Thank you Dave for allowing me to do this and also making me an espresso from your own home-roasted beans. Turns out we both have similar hobbies- a love for audio and coffee. Th...

SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT
@jasbirnandra Honestly I think @geauxaudio gave you the best answer you could hope to find. As he suggested contact Colin at Gestalt for his opinion on the matter.  If you get 20 more responses here and half say IC's and half say speaker cables h...
