Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please

>>why would you settle for an X-03se when you can afford better units.<<

No intention of starting a war here but sometimes value becomes a consideration. Player Y might be better than player X but at what cost and how much better is it?

Not all systems and owners, for that matter, are sophisticated enough to appreciate the differences between the X-03SE and X-01D2

So is the person buying the X-03SE "settling" or is he "value conscious"?

>>its hard to believe a cdp that costs as much as the X-03se can be considered "value conscious".<<

Actually it's not hard to believe given the context of the other products mentioned here to include the P-05/D-05, X-01D2, P-03/D-03, X-01LE.

In that regard, the X-03SE should appeal to the value conscious buyer.

I hope that helps.

Also consider your local dealer instead of relying on amateur opinion and hearsay.

They abound here.

Most dealers are looking beyond one sale and work to assist the customer in finding the best product for the application.

Plus the dealer in many cases has hundreds, even thousands, of hours of experience/familarity with the products.

For these reasons in this thread the dealer is far more credible than any poster.
