You're welcome. Good luck on your journey  
Esoteric Question - is the new Grandioso K1x that much better than the Esoteric K-01xd ?
Yes  it really is. I recently upgraded my 4 month old K-01XD for the new K1X.  Way better layering , harmonics,wider and depper soudstage  with very obvious bass improvement , speed and impact. Hard to believe as the K-01XD was the best one box... 
Would adding an older Esoteric G0RB clock improve the sound on an Esoteric K-01 XD player

Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96
 Coincident Frankenstein Mark two is probably one of the best 300 B amplifier available at any price. Dead silent with the most natural life like sound with midrange to actually die for. Extremely highly recommended

Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Hi Charles,What I meant about worshiping was that we (I include myself and other SET devotees)respect your opinion and seem to have similar audio values. And therefore worship you LOL. I still need to do a bit of research wrt pricing, living in Ca...
