Esoteric P03 - D03
Sacarlatti neither have I. The P01/D01, well they don't sell it in Europe; at least not in the EU. Seems they have an homologation problem with the power supply., so that is not an option. Regardless, if it was, asking price is just too much. Not ... 
Esoteric P03 - D03
Thanks for feedback Mgottlieb,That is more close to what I've read in other places, when comparing X01 to the Combo. Regarding Limited vs D2, I don't think there is a difference in Red Book reproduction (not at least big), since it is basically th... 
Esoteric P03 - D03
ClassicJazz, thanks for info. Did you try different cables and power cords with it? You are the first person I find that doesn't like this particular Combo, and specially who recalls as an Esoteric attribute diffuse or lacking image clarity. If so... 
Esoteric P03 - D03
Thanks Kiwi. Is in my radar for sure. My plan is, first break in the 2 units alone, get familiar with the sound and modes, and then, in a couple of months or so borrow the unit from my dealer. He can lend me one to try out. If I like it, I will or... 
Esoteric P03 - D03
G., I never convert CDs to DSD. Sound does just not feel right. Hard to put it in words, but I would say it sounds artificially warm, lacking detail and dynamics.You basically have 3 options only. Depending which one you choose the D2 will use one... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Ted, you are good...Agreed you need to trust your ears. However there are a lot people, specially non us, who can not possibly hear before buying. Like my case and surely many others. Is for these individuals that forums like this one has a lot of... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
*********01-26-10: ShellieI was visiting the SR factory today to see and hear the new Galileo cable cells (amazing). While I was there I asked Ted about Bacardi's idea for an Active HDMI cable and learned that Ted already has one at home. Long sto...

I did finally heard the klimax DS. TO ME, it was good... but not better than my Esoteric. This was a few weeks ago already, and I did post my views on a different post. However I will share my views with you here as well. Just in case they are of ... 
Classe P-700 & CAM-400 noise problem
Thank you both. Agree, I wish I knew how to, but since I have no clue of electronics I'm not going into any of my amps. Also they are only 6 months old... could void warranty and likely not fix anything but if any end up doing something for the wo... 
Linn Klimax DS. How good is it?
Perrew, as tempting as the product may sound and look, I think I will pass. I can find many people out there saying they sent units and cash and never got either back, after several years...! Others did get it back after a long wait, and others, l... 
Linn Klimax DS. How good is it?
Changster, I'm not an expert really, but I've done some reading. Seems Ethernet has some advantages. First you can have your server far, far away from the DAC (like in another room even if you want). Distance does not affect the data sent, since i... 
Linn Klimax DS. How good is it?
Ok, so I did finally go for an audition and placed a deposit at local dealer to get the Klimax home for a weekend tryout. Very nice guy and excellent service and advice.Was the unit good? Yes very good, I think I can even say excellent. Did I go f... 
Linn Klimax DS. How good is it?
Perrew, indeed. Actually the sweet spot from slim devices logitech, IMPO, is by far, far, a Receiver with the Ipeng. Great sounds, excellent control, cool and convenient, for under 150 euros...!TDA2200, thanks for extensive feedback. You know what... 
Linn Klimax DS. How good is it?
Riffer, yes that's what I read. Also I think there is a number of programs now that would let you control it form the iphone or ipod touch. By the way, it you own a transporter or other slim devices gear, and an iphone or ipod touch, check out the... 
Best digital stream player
You may be right. As stated, it was just a guess from reading and listening to what others, who are more familiar with Linn, say. In reality, why they are only focusing in streaming is up to them. I can see an actual owner of a Linn CDP not being ...
