What cables are you using in your system ?????

I'm a believer that good sound begins at the light pole. I have a 5500 square foot house. It is old but quite interesting in that it has a skating rink, full gym, and an acoustically wonderful dedicated room for my XVX that is a full 40 feet long so with the rear door open I have zero standing waves generated from the rear wall behind my sofa. An interesting feature is a 60K watt whole house GE generator with a Transguard Tg60 situated between the light pole and the enormous transfer switch, which will transfer power to the generator in the event of a power outage. The Tg60 has an excellent filter that lowers my noise floor significantly. It's easy to hear. Next I have 4 dedicated 20 amp lines of no.10 wire coming directly from my 440 amp fuse box to my music room and I use hospital grade outlets for my HC Dragon power cords, 4 of them, that power my 3 Niagara 5000's and 1 Niagara 7000. It's well recognized that the power cord that connects the wall to your system is where you must spend the money. Power cords that connect the conditioner to the component are less important. However, in my main system, I use nothing but Dragon power cords. If your power foundation is not solid, this could be the reason that you are not experiencing all that you system is capable of sonically. A power conditioner can only accomplish so much.
Could you please send a photo from 60K GE generator?

Thank you
 
This is a 60K whole house GE generator, IMO one the finest on the finest on the market. It's about 13 years old, runs off natural gas, and has a large industrial grade General Motors V8 engine.
