Telefunken E188CC Sound
Bojack, last year I paid $400 for a pair of 1972 NIB Siemens low noise 7308. Yes that's a lot of money. However, they clearly outperformed any 6922/Cca/E88CC/E188CC, etc. I had heard previously in THAT particular application. Would they have made ... 
The most emotional amp out there?
Thanks. My emotions are uncontrollable laughter and incredulity.

>>Do you have the speakers towed in much?<<Mine image best when I can just see the inside surface of each speaker. Give it a try and see what you think (hear). Everybody will have their own preference but I find this position ideal for...

Warren is right. 10' might be a "guideline" but it is by no means an absolute. My listening chair is about 9' from the Defs and there is a 10' space between them with outstanding results. Distance from the side walls, back walls, and overall room ...

>>Sure its not limited to single ended, but its IDEAL for low watt tube.<<Absolutely untrue. I've run the Definitions with a number of tube amps, including a pair of Art Audio PX-25 monoblocks (6WPC), but my personal favorite is a pair...

I use FedEx and UPS daily to ship hundreds of packages every year. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with one of your UPS shipments but you're flat out wrong in your characterization of FedEx being a better ground carrier. UPS is clearly superior.

>>lets use FedX, as UPS is a joke<<I'd be careful with that. When shipping air, I prefer FedEx. However, UPS is the better ground carrier as every person touching the package is a UPS employee. FedEx contracts many of their ground ship... 
Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"?
Actually if you want to contact Esoteric direct to schedule the upgrade, call 323-727-7617 and request an "X-01 Limited upgrade". They will schedule a time that is most convenient for you. 
Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"?
MGottlieb, you're wrongly blaming the distributor when he in fact has no control over the upgrade program. Esoteric recently sent technicians to Japan for training and they have returned equipped to begin the upgrade program. Cost will be $584 for... 
Tube or solid state amp or amps?

Best "album" of 2006
>>kate bush aerial was the best 2005 lp<<I purchased the vinyl a few weeks ago; the material, performance, and sonics are wonderful. Highly recommended. 
DK Design Review
>>I think all the DK bashers in this thread are crippled by fear in the face of greatness<<Quaking in our boots, shaking with fear, and overwhelmed with their greatness. 
DK Design Review
>>DK is taking over the industry - and there is nothing you can do to stop it.<<I'd look into a 12 step program real soon. 
Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"?
Something is wrong. I've had a dozen properly operating different Esoteric players/transports here and there is virtually no extraneous noise whatsoever. I can actually put my ear directly on the P-03 chassis and hear (or feel) nothing. Contact yo...
