Nice bike. I ride a Suzuki M50 myself.
Welcome to the M80 + Amp club. I noticed a similar improvement when going from my Pioneer Elite receiver to my LPA-1. That fade-into-the-background, supra-stereo imaging (sounds seemingly coming from beyond the L/R speakers), and overall depth of the soundstage improved.
Nice cables too, though I'm too cheap to spring for anything AudioQuest so I'll just 'make due' with my Canare 4S11's.
I'm sure someone will be along soon to point out that cables and amps make no difference what-so-ever to sound quality and this thread will fall apart.
