| Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE Gregm, it is not at all surprising that the LP does not have the problems found on SACD. Consider that in most cases engineers start from the old master tapes. they remix, enhance, depress frequencies and tracks according to whatever canon they ha... | |
| Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE Leonx, I have heard SACDs where the imaging is bloated and overgrown as you suggest. Other disks where the imaging appears to be right on the button. My experience is that the bloated instrument images is mostly on SACDs that are remasters of old ... | |
| Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE There is an X-01, X-01 Limited, and an X-01 D2 which has been just released. There is however no X-01 Se. I have an X-01 Limited in my system, which is a wonderful device, but I have not been able to do a direct comparison to any EMM products. If ... | |

| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? Thank you all! Keep the interesting info coming. In the meantime, here is a tidbit about Titanium. If I am getting my conversions correctly, Titanium is almost 4 times as resistive as Palladium and almost 26.5 times as resistive as Silver. Titaniu... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? Good guessed TPLAVAS. Are you saying there is AC in the circuit beyond the rectifiers in the power supply? I suspect manufacturers are just experimenting with different metals and alloys. Sometimes they strike. . . Gold, sometimes they just strike... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Hrrrumpf! Such blatent attempts to jocularity at the expense of my exalted person may necessitate live audio seminars offered by my A-Capella-sized cousins from some lessthan-savory corners of North America. . . to assist with fixin' the respect t... | |
