Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"?

On the X-01, only on start-up for a couple of seconds when I've just started it up, at the player, not from my listening chair, and certainly not when music is playing. My player rests on an isolation platform with cone feet, which rest in 4 Aurios Pros, which may help.

Glad your problem was solved--didn't sound like it was a general Esoteric problem based on my experience, and I have both an X-01 and DV-50. But I'm puzzled by Jfz's comments--live concerts must be hell for you. I'll take an incidental living-place noise which can't be heard over soft passages over bronchial honks, creaking seats, and rude talkers any day, and I've learned to tune most of those out. Granted, the idiot above me, who has never heard of rugs or non-stiletto heels, does push it a bit....

Guido, yes, if the Esoteric distributor in the Northeast ever gets its act together to set up the upgrade process, which at present rate doesn't look like it will happen before the next upgrade.

Thanks for the info, guys. I called Esoteric directly and got the upgrade scheduled for July 10th in about three minutes. Seems like if you want information, the audiophile network is better informed than the dealer/rep/manufacturer chain!

Guido, new boxes? I'll check it out. Thanks.

Guido, Thanks. Already ordered.
