RE: It's not "thick" sounding?

I've been using a pair of AC-14s on Atma-Sphere M-60s (fed from a PS Power Plant Premier) and a pair of AC-9s on a pair of REL Storm 3s (from the wall). Both cables are very well made and flexible and AC plug quality seems decent, especially considering the price. (The 14s are designated for line-level use, but I figured, since the A-S amps only draw about 300 watts, why not use them on the amps?) After 12 -15 hours of use, this is what I've found: Initially, both cables sounded "dead" and somewhat rolled off, the 14s more so than the 9s. With time, both have opened up considerably. I'm noticing that some things in the music that I was vaguely aware of are now more distinct and "present" because of some increase in clarity (quieter? less distortion?). On the subs, there is better pitch definition and the A-S amps have more of a sense of ambience. I will try the 9s on the amps once I find a way to support the cable at the amp end (the amps are several feet off the floor) and will post results later. Hope this helps.
