| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. Another consideration is what digital cable are you using?In the last 2 weeks I swapped out my optical cable for coax. If you're price conscious, check out Audio Advisor who has a sale on Pangea: I started with a 1.0m, then a 1.5m (which to my ear... | |
| Digital Cables: Optical, Coax, BNC, or a simple RCA interconnect? I replaced the 1.5m Pangea with the 1.5m Pangea XL a couple hours ago. Obviously 'some' break in is needed, but, in short, the presentation is much more intimate. I find my body grooving to the Paul Butterfield Blues Band "Better Days" | |

| Digital Cables: Optical, Coax, BNC, or a simple RCA interconnect? @tomic601 Thanks. I checked, it's ~ a 12 YO design. I wouldn't think it would compare to newer designs/materials | |

| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. For times when you need to listen at low levels, why not get headphones? | |
| Digital Cables: Optical, Coax, BNC, or a simple RCA interconnect? @auxinputThanks for your input. When I called Audio Advisor to order the XL I spoke with Joe, who was surprised that I preferred the 1.5m to the 1.0m. He believes the 1.0 is better. In terms of pinpoint imaging it was, but it lacked the grounded n... | |

| Digital Cables: Optical, Coax, BNC, or a simple RCA interconnect? The 1.5 performed much better, but how many hours of break-in before it really comes on song? Last night was day 6 of connection, but maybe 10 hours of actual play time. I listened to Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, followed by Bonnie Raitt, Nick ... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Most of you know I have owned the EVS1200 for almost 2 years; dual mono based on AS1200 IcePower modules, but highly tweaked by Ric. During this time my system has undergone a number of cable improvements, plus new speakers (Emerald Physics 3.4s).... | |
| Opinions Needed: Hales vs. Tannoy I heard Hales some 15 years ago in a Hi-End shop in Boca. They did not sound at all analytical to meI own Emerald Physics 3.4s 2 way, which has 12" concentric drivers with 1" polyester tweeters; ~97 dB very easy to drive and amazing imaging al... | |
| Blown away by a vinyl version of a CD? While I certainly appreciate that vinyl CAN sound better than CDs, my question is on which transport/dacs, or more importantly thru what digital I/Os and whose cable?Though I haven't heard any R2Rs, the Audio AG seems a major step in the right dir... | |
| Best Speaker for classical music Looking at when you first started this thread, what if anything have you tried since?I love my ~ 97dB Emerald Physics 3.4s which is a 12" concentric driver with 1" polyester tweeter, but (small but) the OEM jumpers are pure CRAP, and the XOs need ... |
