I'll just share some results for those interested in Parasound. I've got a Parasound p5 with a current Adcom amp, the 555SE and Schiit Bifrost and upscale Nad cd player for sources. Audioquest mid grade cables(Rocket 44, Sydney RCA's and NRG 3 and 4) along with Morrow and a PS Audio AC5 for the amp. Yesterday I got the NRG-3, and put it on the P5, which replaced a basic power cable.I just got in a new Parasound Halo P5 and Halo A21 power amp. When new out of the box the sound was tilted up quite a bit, after just over a week the sound has really tamed down nicely in the highs, the mids are sweet and detailed, the amp images like crazy now and the lows are full and authoritative even at very low volume. I literally cant pull myself away from listening now to get my work done!

The immediate change in imaging and detail was surprising and showed that the P5 really responds well to better power cables. I will say though, that the rest of the system probably has to have good cables as well to get the increased detail.
