| esoteric x-01, ux-1 etc reliable? Fplanner2000 - Thanks for your information. But I think it's a very poor excuse for not improving the sound quality. Not only they are using cheaper transports on newer models, also in many people's opinion the sound of X-01 D1 is not to the level... | |
| esoteric x-01, ux-1 etc reliable? I am contacting Alex for transport problems. In my opinion, the fist generation VRDS-NEO is so far the best transport ever produced. Combined with Alex's modification, the NWO-3.0GO-SE makes the sound so natural that one just feels every penny spe... | |
| esoteric x-01, ux-1 etc reliable? I now have two (2) APL modified NWO-3.0GO-SE with transport problems. One: the disc tray will not extend out for disc loading although the display shows "open". The player operated properly before.Two: the disc tray will not extend when Open/Close... | |

| APL NWO2.5 ? AlexI tried to compare NWO-2.5 with or without passing through my pre-amplifier (tubed, famous brand). My pre-amp just restricted performance of NWO on transparency and dynamics. It is very sad that I have to retire my pre-amp from the system. | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Audiosu 12-25-06My sincere suggestion to you: Upgrade to NWO-2.5 first before spending money in amplifier and speakers. Use NWO, which is a recognized SOTA source, as base to see if further upgrading is necessary and appropriate. | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 "When is digital going to get the soul of music?" I just reached to this point last week when APL NWO-2.5, modified from UX-1,arrived. It has now superseded my high-end Vinyl source for enjoying natural music with much more dynamic and extension o... |
