Are there differing qualities of optical cable?
I installed a new glass fiber optical cable.  It was a definite improvement over my previous Monster optical.Today I just got a new DH Labs Silver Sonic coax cable.Again, a definite improvement over my previous Cardas coax AND definitely better th... 
What’s your favorite recording of Mahler’s 8th Symphony?
Thanks for your input. I have about six other versions butI’ll have to get it.Horenstein usually gets mentioned with Mahler. 
What is the ideal volume setting?

What is the ideal volume setting?

Tdybare:I got the 10 day break-in.Where do you get a source of of white and brown noise?How long does it take after the 10 days?Thanks for the info.

New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
Gdhal:My Gungnir Multibit has improved substantially with break in time since I last posted.Hopefully, yours should do the same.Although the Oppo 105D is not at all bad on my system, the Gungy continues to distance itself from it.
