Digital coax cable, real world experiences?
Absolutely digital cables can make a huge difference I've had a number of different ones I've used, Kimber AGDL, Green Hornet, Nirvana, Cerious Technology, and currently using a cable from Jorma Design that sounds fantastic. The good news is there... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
So i just noticed this thread but wanted to mention listening to a friends Shindo Field Coil  speakers some months back, the bigger model can't remember if that's Lafond or Lafite. They had just been shipped to him and one of them wasn't functioni... 
My new Idler - but is it an idler ?
Cool project and the table looks much more "human" in scale then anticipated after reading steel reinforced concrete. Also never heard of Alcantra before did a bit of reading on it sounds like cool stuff. Congrats and I hope it sounds as you inten...

If you were to market a product, what would you do?
Yes get a website I would love to see some pics of what you're building and perhaps some real specs? 
If you were to market a product, what would you do?
Get some beta testers who are online a lot to spread word of mouth. Perhaps see if any pro reviewers will review it. And find the kind of dealer that trusts their own ears rather than marketing to see if they will champion it. That's what comes to... 
Curious about older "world class" D/A converters
Did you contact the seller? Do that and sit tight and wait to hear from EMM and if you have a different transport you can try with the DAC you should try that. And sorry you're having issues that's never fun! 
Why do Asian looks for old Wadia CDP at high price?
Good point larryi and I guess I use a vintage DAC myself an Audio Note DAC-3 Signature circa 1995 which used the Burr Brown PCM-63K with is a multibit R2R chip. Sounds great to me but I'll admit to not having spent much time auditioning more moder... 
what speakers to buy

AN-E-SPE-HE Advice
And Abill I don't think its an issue with the hemp drivers it's just a matter of personal preference. I went with the paper drivers on Vu's advice because I trust him completely, he's got amazing ears and has never once steered me wrong.
