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"

@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.

Digital Cables: Optical, Coax, BNC, or a simple RCA interconnect?

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)....

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...
