Dan the input to my P10 usually reads 124vac and 3.4-3.6% distortion, the waveform peaks always show some degree of flatness (chopped off). The output is a perfect sine-wave at 120.4vac and 0.1% distortion. The improvement in sound quality manifests itself as a darker background and tighter bass.

Tom.......I agree, the blacker background definitely allows micro details to be fleshed out of the silence. Like you, I have also noticed a denser, more robust nature to bass reproduction. Just this morning I was listening to Tim Story - Shadowplay, "When All Beyond Was Wild", finding my attention captured by the deep synthesized bass that wrapped around the performance. The P10's clean power is a true asset to the sound system's performance.

Eric.......I know what you mean. When I comment to Marlene that I think I am done with changes to my systems she just looks at me and says, "Sure". She knows the truth. .

Hi Dan,
I’m curious what settings you use on multiwave (1-6) and low distortion vs high resolution?
Thanks

Beautiful set up and congratulations on the P10, I too, noticed a great improvement when I added my PPP....

One question, however, do you not have a heat issue with all your gear so closely confined within your rack/shelves? It would appear you have little to no room for air flow.
