| Whats playing on your system today? Iggy Pop-- Post Pop Depression. His and Josh Homme's best LP in many years. A serious contender for best of 2016. | |
| Rubidium Clock The K-01X manual specifies the BNC clock input as 75 ohm impedance. I can't speak to other Esoteric products. | |
| Rubidium Clock There are many relatively inexpensive scientific instrument versions with 50 ohm outputs. I could find none with a 75 ohm output, as needed for optimal impedance match with 75 ohm digital audio input as used on the Esoterics. Through a web search ... | |
| Antelope 10MX Rubidium Atomic Clock vs S.S 10M Rubidium Audio Clock I had a strong sense of across-the-board improvements with the SRS clock into the K-01X early in break-in of both units. Now that break-in is finished I’ll spend a few days with the clock in and out and return with impressions. That said, I think ... | |
| Antelope 10MX Rubidium Atomic Clock vs S.S 10M Rubidium Audio Clock I doubt you’ll find anyone who has compared these two units. I use the SRS PERF-10 with a Hynes Linear PS into an Esoteric K-01X.--If you can believe factory specs, SRS has significantly lower phase noise than Antelope.--SRS actually builds the ru... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge smctigue1, I have an ART7 that I compared awhile back to my NOS AT20SS. The ART7 was better: more refined treble, fuller-bodied midrange and LF, and generally more natural. I would assume the same for the ART9. | |
| Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm HW, sorry if I over-reached. Assuming that there have been continuous improvements that eliminate the problem, I would think owners would want more information on the range of serial numbers affected. Also, heat, cold, and sun can be "normal cond... | |
| "Cracked Rear View" Those two albums are JH’s grand slam, but Slow Turning is seminal as a turning point off the booze.I was gonna get up off that bar stool Just as soon as I could figure it out Why I was overlooked at the car pool Stood up at the dance with no twist... | |
| Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm Nice that HW chimed in, but you are all too generous. The 3D twists like a Takata airbag. | |
| Esoteric K-01X or K-03X?? The 22Mhz master clock in the K-01X synchronizes to the PERF-10 at 10Mhz, and all other frequencies are derived within the CDP.You don't need a G-02. If you purchase a Perf-10, get it with the optional 12Vdc power port for use with an outboard li... | |
| Esoteric K-01X or K-03X?? The selectable upsampling and filtering options apply to both RBCD and SACD from the transport. My opinion of these options has evolved through the break-in process. After extended break-in is I gravitate toward RBCD upsampled to unfiltered DSD a... | |
| Esoteric K-01X or K-03X?? That’s a VG price for a K-01X. I doubt that your friend’s unit is nearly broken in. It took 1000+ hours for mine to come fully on song; after break-in it compares favorably to vinyl. If you do buy it, sell the G-03X clock and purchase a Stanford R... | |
| Andy Summers I missed much of his post-Police work, but caught up with the Circa Zero/Circus Hero(2014) LP. He's still going strong. | |
| Thanks, Audiogon, for the friendships you made That's the spirit, Ebm! Keep trying so hard and you may be surprised. | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? John Atkinson wrote in 2005 that from 1986 to 2005, the median age of Stereophile subscribers rose from 38 to 48-- at half the rate of chronological aging. Assuming that "Atkinson’s Law" continues, the median age for active participation in the ho... |
