I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp?
My recent foray into digital coax cables includes Pangea Premier SE 1.0m, 1.5m, and finally the 1.5m XL, which is taking a good bit longer to break in, but provides a more intimate presentation, after 3 days with lots of replay (~20 hours so far...
