Dartzeel amp lives up to hype
Steinway57- tell your dealer friend it's time to retire- his ears are no longer functioning properly. Thank him for the 30+ years of serving our community. Fmpnd- If you already have the SST, there should be plenty of warnings in the instructions ... 
Dartzeel amp lives up to hype
Henry, the preamp has a remote control (and most everything else you could want). My DarTZeel 108 has been absolutely bullet proof- it is dead quiet with no hiss, hums, clicks, or anything else to let you it is "on" or even in your system until th... 
EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01
I wonder how the new P-03 and D-03 would stack up agains the EMM Labs? The P-03 and D-03 use different DACs than the X-01 that don't covert DSD to PCM. Reports from CES on the combo appeared very positive.

Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Guidocorona- it looks like the D-03 will not covert DSD to PCM as in the current Esoteric lineup. It will be using the Analog Devices AD 1955 DAC chip. I'm not sure if the transport in the P-03 is new or not. The X-01 Limited has some minor change...

Any member feedback from C.E.S. 2006?
The new Esoteric P-03 and D-03 look incredible on the Soundstage website. I wonder if it's true that they will keep DSD all the way to the anaolg outputs instead of coverting to PCM. Anyone know what the updates are in the X-01 "Limited"? 
EMM "Versions"
I think most of the changes or "versions" have just been production run changes due to manufacturing circumstances rather than an actual "redesigned" or "improved" product. Early DCC2 pieces have a black volume control knob, with later DCC2s havin...

Help Requested - New Room Setup
Beautiful system and room! My room is quite similar in dimensions- 21.5 x 16.75 x 7.4 I have Vandersteen 5As. If you have the ability to do so, try moving your listening position. You just might be sitting in a null. Most attention is paid to movi...

Hi Mike,My zero gravity "Perfect Chair" is being delivered today. Since you have had yours for so long- do you find that you can only recline to a certain point before the listening experience suffers? How far back from the full upright position d...
