Bryston BDA-1
Thanks for the good information! I guessed the loss of richness on acoustics guitar music was due to the cable but had no idea an analog cable was that inferior to the digital cable. I really can't wait for this cable to come in now to do some se... 
Bryston BDA-1
That's correct, using a standard RCA intil my digital 75 ohm Kimber DV-75 coax cable come in the mail. I believe that is the source of the reduced bloom I'm noticing with the BDA-1. Thanks, Wig Belles 150A Ref Belles 21A Tube modified with Auricap... 
Difference between RCA & Coax
I was just curious because my Kimber Coax cable has not come in yet and was using an old MIT T2 interconnect for the time so I imagine I'll be shocked on the level of detail I'l hear once the cable come in. Thanks, Wig 
Grounding ?

How is Rotel RCD-1520 CD player? Anyone owns one?

Rega Apollo Upgrade ?
What digital cable are you guys using for your BDA-1? I have a Kimber DV75 and will see how it works out but would like to hear some reasonably priced replacements($200-300) Thanks, Wig 
Dynamic Design Lotus Spkr cable users?
Thanks for taking the time to express your experiences and positive responses about Dynamic Design cables. I have also upgraded my entire system to DD Bi-wire and MK2 interconnects. I'll post my experience with these cables once I receive them and...
