| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 01s at 400 or so hours and still improving. Nice change from 300 to 400 hours. It keeps surprising me how good these things really are. Nothing to do with any digital I've heard before. Pure magic and flow, detail, PRAT... Incredible. | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 HI Zephir,I agree with you 02 are no joke...Regarding HDMI I don't know if I misunderstood you. None of the 03s or 02s had HDMI connectors. They had ilink, or RCA or XLR.The 02 uses ESLINK3 through 2 AES/EBU. This is the best way to play them. But... | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 Hi Fplanner. You should try to find ways to use the clock. It does have a great effect on the 02s. But assume you know that. As for the 01s, the difference with the 02s is not small. Better in many material ways. If you listen to them in a familia... | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 Interesting. I think they went for simplicity to achieve the purest sound possible here. Not only taking out the volume; If you go the recommended way in connecting them, ES LINK 4 using HDMI, the options available in terms of up sampling, filters... | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 Thanks John.Ok finally updated my system. "My system" is called. Well actually builded a new one. Anyone knows how to get rid of an old system?I have to agree with what Colekat mentions. It is that good.Regarding preamp, and DAC volume attenuation... | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 Yes I know what you mean. Many things to point out, but realism of reproduction is probably the most important achievement. All is just right. Bass, detail, expression, extension, sound staging... you name it. But it is altogether that gives reali... | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 A nice review of the units a friend pointed out to me. One of the only 2 I am aware of.http://www.soundmania.hu/files/tests/0/0/1/5/1/Esoteric%20Grandioso%20P01-D01%20-%20Hifi%20and%20records%20ENG%204-2014.pdf | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 Will try to do in the near future. Pictures are not my most beloved hobby, and updating all the list in the system is a bit of a pain (not really a bit...)Latest pictures I have are of a couple of months ago with the system as it is right now but ... | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 02 is indeed very good. No wonder you are very happy with them. I have been happy a number of years with them, and had not heard better digital until the 01s. 01s are, as rare as it may sound if you are used to the 02s, a good step beyond. I start... | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 HI Azjake.I don't think it is only about set up options. The dedicated boxes with power supplies, specially keeping it far away from transport, plus the mono DACs do make a remarkable difference. I guess 4 or 5 boxes is the downside to it, but if ... | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 Wow G, what's with you? All fine? | |
| Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1 Hi G. That's funny. Have to wonder what she had in mind. Good to hear from you. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Hi all,Just started a new thread on the 01s. For anyone interested:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1434224774&read&3&zzlEelii08As for Tony, I have always run all Esoteric on balanced. That is broadly the recommended w... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 I have mines already in the system also. Still very early days and have not been able to listen much to them but you ca tell very fast they are very special. Quite something. 02s are great; fantastic actually and I can't imagine anyone not being h... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Great Tom. Congrats once more. Keep us posted. You are my only reliable source of info on these!Also congrats Zephyr on your C02. It has to be great. Never had an esoteric preamp, but had the esoteric phono and it was great. I am sure it is fantas... |
