| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Kedoades, thank you for the update, Did yu compare the reflection PC with lessloss original or more expensive version? I am waiting for reflections ICs and SCs from Steve. I was wondering how reflection power cords stuck up against brands like shu... | |
| Krell 402E latest - advise needed Gshepardbuster, thank you for your advise and opinion. This is exaclty what I think. With SS, the higher power amps within the same brand sound better overall, with more presense and wait and not only at extreme levels. I am serisously leaning tow... | |
| Krell 402E latest - advise needed Stanwal, thank you for the opinion, my room is relatively large (25’X20’ living room with high sealing), but I am not looking for more SPLs. Krell 402e has two power transformers (one for each channel ) and 35% more capacity. According to Krell, t... | |

| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s Melb, I bought those tubes a 2 month ago with 20% discount. It cost me about $360 (extra charge for matched quad) with shipping from Canada. I sudjest you contact them and see what they can do. | |
| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s Melbguy1, thank for all your advise and info, I also own cd-5s and very happy with its sound and the pre-amplifier section in this unit is very good. I sold my ARC ref-3 pre-amp after buying ayon cd-5s. Melbguy1 I got yu advise and changed tubes t... | |
| Esoteric K03 Mike60, I respect your expertise and opinion, but to my original point, some esoteric players exhibit mechanical noise during playback and it is a fact( I had it on two brand new players x-03se and k-03). One can leave with that or fix it paying s... | |
| Ayon Vs. Audio Research Preamps Scott, congratulation on a great player. After noise issues with esoteric k-03 I sold it and bought Ayon cd-5s. All I can say that finally I have my dream machine and pre-amp in this player is excellent. I sold my arc ref-3 several days after. Als... | |
| Esoteric K03 Badwisdom, hang on for a while here and Audiofeil with his 100 years experience will tell you that it is not true. | |
| Esoteric K03 To the Audiophiles point, all esoteric cd players require huge ( mayb 800-1000 hours) amount of braking to hear their true potential. Many people dont beleive in it or getting inpatient (including myself) and making conclusions (hear comes digit... | |
| Esoteric K03 Primare_cd31I had k-03 for 5 months. Great player if playing scads, if your most listnening is with red book cds, it is not worth that much money (digital glare still there) and you can find better alternative (ayon cd-5s, marantz s7a). But k-03 h... | |
| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s Audioman58, I also have ayon cd-5s. Great player with really good pre-amp.Your comments about using Bryston digital player instead of transport made me thinking about setting up front end utilizing Bryston and finally have my all cds on a hard dri... | |
| Ayon CD5 vs Audio Aero Prestige I agree with Audioman58. I recently bought ayon cd-5s that replaced esoteric k-03 in my system. I did compare the pre-amp section of the ayon cd-5s with plinius tautoro, arc ref-3 and in my system ayon cd-5s was better. I think unless one will go ... | |
| Planning to buy SF Ellipsa...any input? Docash777I have SF Elipsas. I used to drive them by plinius sb301, gamut di-150 integrated, plinius hiato, viva solista mk2, and tried also mcintosh mcd1100 cdp with mc452. They all had their own positives but I still wasn't happy with the sound, ... | |
| Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101 All I can say without offending experience and knowledge of others, if OP put $13K Esoteric k-03 with his $17k Plinius combo and use $200 ICs, he will not hear full potential of the system. Yes he will enjoy the system sound more that with Plinius... |
