| Esoteric DV-60 Sorry Frankpiet, I have no interest in cars.I broke in My X-01 for approx 850 hrs of almost uninterrupted playing time, while I left the rest of the system turned off days at a time. It turns out I should have broken it in for a couple of more hun... | |
| Opinions and experiences on the Esoteric UX-3 SE Good point Canucks0 , sorry for that. | |
| Esoteric DV-60 I should like to add that, having a tender heart by nature, I cannot bear the thought of any Esoteric players being thrown out the window in a tizzy after an incomplete break in period of 400 hrs or otherwise. If anyone were tempted to follow Fran... | |
| ARC Ref 3 or VTL 6.5? Dgad, do you happen to know when was the update on the 6.5 introduced? And do all 6.5s after such date sport the new circuitry, or is it an option only? The update may very well have addressed some of the mild objections I voiced on the 7.5 when I... | |
| Opinions and experiences on the Esoteric UX-3 SE Anthony, sonically, how do the DV-50, DV-60, and UX-3 SE differ? | |
| ARC Ref 3 or VTL 6.5? What a coincidence Allenc, I also have an X-01, into Ref 3, Into Rowland 7M, into MagnePan 3A. My Ref 3 replaces an ARC LS2B. I chronicled my long selection process on the following thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&11232543... | |
| Opinions and experiences on the Esoteric UX-3 SE Good point, I want to hear about it too! (Isn't it annoying that posting to a thread is the only way to subscribe?) | |
| ARC Ref 3 or VTL 6.5? Allenc, what is the rest of your system, including ICS, speakerwires, PCs, etc. . .? What music do you listen to? What do you like least about your LS25? What do you like best about your LS25? What sound do you wish to achieve? I am proud owner of... | |
| Esoteric DV-60 TVAD, that's the problem. . . so many manufacturers and dealers manage to convince and assure end users that just about 100 hrs of break-in or less are plenty, just to get those bothersome consumers out of their corporate collective hair. In the e... | |
| Esoteric DV-60 Respectfully Frankpiet, with 200 hrs of playing time, Esoteric gear reaches 20% to 25% of total breakin time. 200 hrs is simply the magic moment when they no longer sound painful to the ear. Keep that creature playing for another 6 week, then both... | |
| Esoteric DV-60 How many hours of playing time did these devices have on them? A Fully broken in Esoteric unit would have upwards of 40 days of continuous playing time on it. Considering that the DV-60 has just reached the distribution channel, finding a broken i... | |
| Esoteric DV-60 Audiofeil, I would claim in fact that it makes no sense to evaluate an Esoteric product with any less than 800 hrs on it for RedBook alone.DISCLAIMER: I am an X-01 owner, but wish I were also an Esoteric dealer. (chuckles!) | |
| Esoteric DV-60 UX-1 is universal multichannel. X-01 is CD and SACD multichannel. | |
| Esoteric DV-60 True, but DV-60 still does not have a true VRDS Neo transport. . . Why not get an X-03, which is not terribly more expensive than DV-60? | |
| Esoteric x-03 se vs ARC cd3 mk2 Thank you Anthony, as you may be the only one who has direct experienced both DV-60 and X-03, what are the sonic differences between the two? |
