(Why test with cable scores high than without cable?
Because it will not be the same scores at different times. It will between about 72XX~73XX. So actully. it dosen't mean that the scores with cable is higher .)
 
Interesting to see that it won't display anything with the 2.0 riser....
Thanks for doing these tests :thup:
