| 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... | |
| Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101 Audio_madness, I used to own both plinius cd-101 and esoteric k-03. With your set-up, as others mentioend, you have to upgrade ICs, they not up to the level of the rest of your gear, without it you will not be able to hear full potential of k-03 o... | |
| Esoteric K-01 MIke60, and Matjet, it is great that yu like you k-01. I have k-03 and it is a great player.In my system and for my ears it bested x01-d2 and wadia s7i. Becaue my integrated has only RCA as diect conect to amplifier and I use only XLR cables, I ca... | |
| Fusion Audio Romance series cables I would like to add that Eric started making speaker cables. I happen to get one of the first production pairs. He rightfully decided to call them Magic. They build on the same principals as his great Romance 2 ICs. All these years I was under imp... | |
| Big Blue Tenor Sax Agree on Scott Hamilton. Awesome quality and great performance. | |
| Rowland 625 Anybody, I am about to proceed on buying Rowland 625 instead of my gamut DI-150. Gamut is great integrated but lack some bass to expose full potential of my SF Elipsas. What pre-amplifier may be a great match for Rowland 625? The Corus and Creatio... | |
| Rowland 625 Guido, how far Capri pre-amp from Corus ans Creation. I am interested in 625, but will it be great with Capri as it is with Creation? Btw ,the Gamut products are very good. I have gamut DI-150 integrated. The only think I am missing is a more cont... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Did anybody tried the digital volume control on k-01 or k-03 running directly to the amplifier, it is intersting how does it compare with pre-ampifer in place. Thanks you. |
