I'm in need of a new digital coax for between a Cambridge CXC and AudioMirror Tubadour. The Silnote Morpheous lll has been perfect until I began using more sensitive Zu speakers. Now the vocals are "in your face" though every other frequency except those in the presence region remain just perfect for my taste - detailed, excellent timbre,good separation.
I have two TWL pcs now (love them!)Also a pair of Spirit ICs which I'm not using currently so I tried using one as the digital coax.Interesting!The vocals receded back where they belong but everything else is much too warm and pleasant.Detail and proper timbre is obscured. So I am wondering if the Spirit 75 will bring back the missing detail and timbre and do right by the vocals.Yes I realize I can buy and return, but I'd like to hear some thoughts from experienced owners. Thanks for reading.

The standard "Spirit" or "Spirit II" RCA interconnects are designed as analogue interconnects, not as a the precise 75 ohm DIGITAL S/PDIF "Spirit 75" cable. The "Spirit 75" is a very balanced and natural sounding...
Just sayin'...
Cheers,

I know that. It's interesting to hear what an analog cable does as a digital cable. Once in a while they actually sound good.I can't find any info/owners impressions on the Spirit 75 so thought I'd inquire here.I'm extremely happy with the TWL pcs on my transport and dac.

I’m using a TWL Spirit 75 digital coax cable between my DDC and DAC. I purchased it 2nd-hand from the original owner. It’s been a superb addition to my digital streaming set up. I can’t say it did anything specifically to vocals but since I was coming from a toslink (glass) connection to the TWL coax cable, the audio presented as richer and more full bodied… natural and very engaging. Very happy with it!
I also purchased a new TWL Freedom Ethernet cable directly from Pete a few months ago and, it too has been a noticeable improvement in my growing system.
Next up will be some TWL speaker cables to replace the Supra’s I’m using now

I have one of TWLs digital cable and enjoyed it in the system. It took a cable at 4 times it’s price to replace it. It is a very competent piece. Even though I have a different cable I have kept Pete’s here.
